Was Hannah really killed by her own son!
This was not in her vision of being given in marriage to
a Son of Lehi. She was to “live a life of righteousness with a worthy
priesthood holder”.
How could a son of Lehi and her own child have gone so
wrong? Why? Why? Why?
What could possess a son to stone his own mother?
This sequel to Daughter
of Ishmael completely surprised me! What happens next totally threw me
for a loop.
The story carried me into thinking more deeply about what
women must have experienced during the times of Lehi’s family in the new world.
I was drawn into the story as though I was standing right
there watching and experiencing everything right along with the families of
Lehi and Ishmael. I could smell the bushes, the tents made of hides and the
fires burning. I could feel the blows of anger and the harsh words.
Then when there were words and actions of love and
kindness, they were a relief to me as I felt how the characters in A House Divided lived their
uncertain lives in this new country.
As I read A
House Divided, I gained a deep respect for the people of Lehi because
of how the righteous became stronger and stronger in their faith in God.I am impressed with the strength of Nephi and how he was
told by the Lord what he needed to do…and he just “Did it”!
