Book Details

It’s my turn now...

“I looked over the young men with some excitement. Could one of them be mine? Height was important to me. When we stood, there were two of them who were tall enough. I studied them carefully, laughing inwardly at myself all the time. This was crazy! It was like I was playing a game—a very important game. One of the young men appealed to me very much. He looked like he had suffered, and I wanted someone who felt deeply and could understand my feelings.” Helen, after becoming a mother at seventeen for her six orphaned brothers and sisters in the 1930s, has finally given herself time for her personal life. Helen shares her adventures and discoveries in A Greater Destiny, including a unique California mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and three engagements before finally meeting the man of her dreams.

“This beautifully written, historically rich autobiography captures the struggles and triumphs of a remarkable woman’s life. Helen’s heartwarming story will stay with you long after the final page. A must-read for lovers of inspirational memoirs.” Outskirts Press
