Mormons--Fiction;Nephites--Fiction.
Is the Nephite nation alive and well today? Dr. Peter Polk and his old friend, Sam Meyer, want to find out. "Sam has worked out a theory about the Nephites in the Book of Mormon," Peter explains to his assistant, Stephen Thorn. "He believes that the Nephites live on today as a people, but they don't know who they really are, and they have a great destiny before them." A hand-picked group of faithful Latter-day Saints is invited to the Pacific Islands to discuss Sam Meyer's theory. The setting for the week-long gathering is the Free Eagle, a yacht made available to them by Stephen's wealthy stepmother-in-law. Among the guest are three couples--Mexican, Hawaiian, and Japanese--whose ancestral roots have deep significance in light of Meyer's intriguing theory. Before the end of the week, their lives will be forever changed by the events that take place. Once you've read this riveting new novel, you'll never again read the Book of Mormon in quite the same way! [from publisher website]
