The Shadow Falls

"How do good people mistake evil for good? Is it possible for an entire nation to be decieved? In the third volume of Gerald N. Lund's dynamic new series, the Eckhardt familiy finds itself clinging to hope in a nation on the brink of collapse. Work is scarce; money is practically worthless. War-torn Germany has been humiliated internationally, and its people have lost the pride that once carried them. Living in such desperate circumstances leaves Germany vulnerable, and Hans Eckhardt is not immune. His friend Adolf is charismatic, driven, a man of vision--seemingly everything his country needs. A few suspect that this new political leader may not be whom they seek, but many more turn a blind eye. But there are bright spots amid the bleakness. Faith and familiy continue to provide joy and solace. And a visit from two former LDS missionaries and their families brings a spark of excitement. Family life seems to be the one area unmarred by the turmoil all around them--until a personal tragedy strikes. Join they Eckhardts and their American friends the Westlands as they unknowingly dive into a turning point in the world's history."--Container.
