Marcus King: Mormon

by Nephi Anderson

""Marcus Mormon"" is a novel written by Nephi Anderson and published in 1908. The story follows the journey of Marcus King, a young man who converts to the Mormon faith in the late 1800s. As he navigates the challenges of being a new member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Marcus faces opposition from his family and community. He must also confront internal struggles as he grapples with the teachings of the Church and the sacrifices required to live a faithful life. Along the way, Marcus falls in love with a young woman named Ruth, who shares his faith and becomes his partner in navigating the trials and joys of their new life together. Through the story of Marcus King, Anderson offers a glimpse into the history and culture of the early Mormon Church, as well as the personal struggles and triumphs of those who embraced the faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This book started off so well and was such a page turner. I was so disappointed in the end. I feel like trying to change it from third to first person ruined it for me. And it could have been wrapped up so nicely too!

Very anti-sectarian. And the weirdness with the love-interests was too much for me.
