But no matter where she turns, she cannot find what she is looking for, until she becomes intrigued by a man preaching of God in the town square. Amulek’s status as a respected and wealthy man in the city of Ammonihah seems to grow by the day. His farm is flourishing and his family is healthy and happy.

No matter his previous status among his peers, Amulek’s change of heart is not taken well and soon his entire family is in danger. Before they are ready, their new found faith is thrown directly into the refiner’s fire. It seems as if they will lose everything if they stand firm in their beliefs and follow the plan God has for them.
