Nauvoo Geraldine Marshall

We live in a world of division, strife, and inequality. What is it about human nature that creates this? And what does it take to rise above it?

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been on a quest to create Zion since its inception in the mid-1800s. The Icarians also experimented with building a society whose foundation was peace, prosperity, and brotherhood. Geraldine Marshall's book Nauvoo: Beyond Adieu: Have You Heard the Call? explores the quest for Zion through the eyes of someone who lived through the rise and demise of the most perfect place on earth, Nauvoo.
