FREE MEN AND DREAMERS Vol 5: In God Is Our Trust

And this be our motto, ＂In God is our trust.＂

America exits the War of 1812 battered but determined under the leadership of the last men tutored by the Founding Fathers. As she is welcomed onto the world stage, new leaders prepare to thrust an aggressive platform on the nation, threatening America’s unity and her brief period of prosperity and peace.

The country’s trials have prepared a choice generation, but the constant adversity that has afflicted the Pearson home leaves Hannah in a crisis of faith. The struggles plaguing the Pearsons also affect Frannie and the six families with whom the Pearsons have become entangled during the war.

As a new religious reformation dawns in America, the Pearsons and Snowdens become involved with a young man from Hannah’s past Joseph Smith whose accounts of visions and dealings with angels strain tender relationships and test the Constitution’s guarantees of religious liberty.
