“Passage to Zarahemla” by Chris Heimerdinger is an MP3 book download on LDSAudio.com.   I had read many of Chris’s books, and was probably most familiar with “Tennis Shoes among the Nephites”.  Just as “Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites”, this book takes you into the ancient times and characters of the Book of Mormon.

As the mystery unfolds, we learn about a teenage girl and her younger brother (Kerra and Brock McConnell) whose mother has just passed away, and they are left orphans on the run.   To prevent them from being put in foster care and becoming wards of the state, they take off for Utah where their LDS aunt and uncle live.  The story really begins at the home of their aunt and uncle.  Close to Kerra and Brock’s relatives is a wooded area where parallel realities collide, and where ancient Nephites cross paths with the modern world.    You learn of Kerra’s childhood and a love of a young Nephite from her past.  This story is full of adventure, mystery, suspense, and danger.  As you listen, you can visualize all of the characters, their dress and manners. 

“Passage to Zarahemla” by Chris Heimerdinger is a story that is told in a very descriptive and expressive way.    I am anxious now to see the movie that is based on this book.  Great work Chris!
