After becoming a mother at seventeen for her six orphaned brothers and sisters, Helen has finally given herself time for her personal life in A Greater Destiny, the final book of three telling Helen Monson’s early life story. Set near the end of the Great Depression up to the beginning of WWII, Helen shares honest, intimate, engaging stories familiar to a young woman of the time and universally appealing to readers today. With her, we leave home in sheltered Salt Lake City for New Year’s Eve in San Francisco; we survive broken engagements; we fill a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and overcome insecurities while building a firmer understanding of our own faith; and finally, we return home to meet our eternal companion and fulfill a cherished dream. 'This beautifully written, historically rich autobiography captures the struggles and triumphs of a remarkable woman’s life. Helen’s heartwarming story will stay with you long after the final page. A must-read for lovers of inspirational memoirs.' Outskirts PressA Greater Destiny is the final book in the Greatest Gamble trilogy.
