    She can't die. But this moon is killing her people. 
    Sass Collier took years to buy a spaceship, a dream born in humiliation and defeat. 
    Four decades ago, Sass arrived on the unpromising moon Mahina with refugees from Earth, the home planet now falling out of living memory. As a marshal, she mediates disputes between the elites of the capital and destitute settlers wresting a living from the moondust. 
    Then an ‘air drop’ kills hundreds, maybe thousands. 
    Settlers tucked their children into bed, then enjoyed an hour of free time before they slept. And out of the blue, they suffocated to death. 
    This isn’t the only injustice on Mahina — far from it. But it’s the final straw, the match that lights rebellion aflame. Irate as anyone, Sass becomes a ringleader. Settlers demand a shot at a better life! 
    Until the rebels go too far. Must she betray everyone? 
    Petticreek Five is an origin story for the humorous Thrive space colonization series. If you enjoy the motley crew of Firefly and the world-building of Heinlein, try Thrive!

    Forgotten Saints - A Pioneer...

    Of the nearly 2,000 saints who died while crossing the plains, we know little about those who left nothing behind—no record of their death, no personal journals, no memories of their lives. This is particularly true for children who died on the trek, but it is also true for the parents who died alongside them.  
    Author of Filled with His Love, Russell T. Osguthorpe, former Sunday School general president, recounts how two pioneer families in New York became one blended family, how they helped build the Nauvoo temple, struggled to leave that city beautiful, suffered while crossing the plains, and how they build a new life in Zion.  
    Forgotten Saints is a story about the importance of relationships—the eternal attachments we form with God and with those we love. Although the historical events in the story are accurate, the details of the lives of each character are fictional. As you make the journey with this pioneer family, you will gain a deeper witness of how important attachment relationships are—both human and divine. You will draw closer to your ancestors, to your family and friends, and to God. You will acquire a deeper desire to do everything possible to ensure that no one on either side of the veil is ever forgotten.
