Belonging to Heaven by Gale Sears
3.0
"Belonging to Heaven", based upon real people and true events, is the fictionalized story of the beginnings of the Mormon church is Hawaii. Most notable is the account of Jonathan Nepela, a man of Hawaiian royalty, who joined the faith and promoted it among his people. He was great man of faith, loyalty and love. His is a beautiful story.
Unfortunately, I found myself reading in what felt like slow motion. The author's writing was not as engaging as I would have liked. However, the final third of the novel is the story's strength and I am glad that I did not give up.
