Book of Mormon Girl Power Story Has Definite Potential
1:00 AM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)


As the bloodthirsty Lamanites make their way toward Zarahemla—a place full of adults who have buried their weapons of war, vowing never to take them up again—every member of the rising generation must do what he/she can to defend the land of their inheritance. Keturah wants a chance to do just that. If only she can show the men in charge that she means business. It's a question of how far she's willing to go, how much she's willing to risk to get what she wants. As the Lamanites march ever closer, Keturah must battle her own heart to decide whether she should do what's expected of her or follow her own path, even if it means endangering her reputation, her family's good name, and her future marriage to the man who loves her as much more than just a best friend.
Obviously, Daughter of Helaman by Misty Moncur, isn't the only novel ever to have been inspired by stories from The Book of Mormon; it is, however, the only one I've read. For some reason, I shy away from this genre. I don't have a problem with it per se, I just find it a little ... strange. Is that weird? I don't know, something about a Nephite boy uttering, "Whatever, dude" (or some such) just rubs me the wrong way, you know?
(Readalikes: Um, I can't think of anything. Can you?)
Grade: C
If this were a movie, it would be rated: PG for violence and mild sexual innuendo
To the FTC, with love: I received a PDF of Daughter of Helaman from the generous folks at Cedar Fort via the Whitney Awards Committee. Thank you!
