New Products: New and Old Novels, and a Martin Harris Biography
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Recently published LDS books include a number
of novels aimed at the LDS market and a biography of Martin Harris
that the publisher says is the most complete account of his life. The
novels include a new edition of an early Lee Nelson novel, the
complete, unabridged version of Gerald Lund's most recent novel, and
a novel based on the well-known poem, The Touch of the Master's Hand.
The biography of Martin Harris was written by his brother's
great-granddaughters who have spent years researching his life. Their
account draws on rare correspondence and family information to
present a portrait of a man who has been misunderstood by history.
Cedar Fort has issued the new edition of Lee Nelson's "Wasatch
Savage," one of Nelson's earliest novels, published in the 1970s by
Liberty Press. Also new is a mystery from Covenant Communications
called "Beneath the Surface," Robert Farrell Smith's latest novel,
