Belonging to Heaven by Gale Sears

4.0

4.5 stars. A very touching story about the beginnings of the LDS church in the Hawaiian Islands. The first part of the story focuses mostly on George Q. Cannon, one of the first missionaries sent to Hawaii, while the second part focuses more on one of the first converts, Jonathan Napela. I really enjoyed learning more about this part of the church's history and was inspired by Jonathan's story. I listened to the audiobook and wish I had access to the footnote references in the book to help me see which parts of the story were taken from historical accounts and which were fictionalized by the author.
