Resumen del Editor

On the eve of Utah’s admittance into the Union, Rebecca Kade has more pressing concerns on her mind than celebrating statehood. Her parents’ untimely deaths. The possible loss of the family’s beloved ranch. A looming confrontation with her estranged twin sister. And the complications arising from the arrival of a charming suitor.

Rebecca is determined to save her father’s ranch, no matter how much effort and heartache it takes. But her sister Rachel, with a new life in Salt Lake City, is less than enthusiastic in her response to Rebecca’s pleas for help. Rachel would prefer to sell the ranch and live in the city.

When Rachel introduces her latest beau to Rebecca, the seeds are sown for still more conflict between the two sisters, each headstrong and courageous in her own way. But Judson Carter has his own battles to fight before he is free to court the sister who has won his heart.

In this, the fifth and final volume of The Kade Family Saga, In the Shadow of the Mountain, the story builds to a climactic conclusion against the vivid backdrop of new statehood and the challenges of faith and family during the tumultuous closing years of the 19th century. Despite the faith of their ancestors, Rebecca and Rachel must both find their own way to hope and happiness, to redemption and forgiveness, to life and love.

Very enjoyable series

I enjoyed the Kade Family Saga series very much. It is historical fiction of a family who has some members who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; from the early beginnings of the church through to the era that Utah became a state. I would recommend.

overall very good enjoyed enjoyed the Saga

narrator very good enjoy the story light the morals like the idea of family pulling together

Inspiring novel of Utah history.

Good western novel with welcome civilized naration. Nice presentación of the Book of Mormon as a valued scripture.

Kade family Saga. all five books

I love the narrator! the story was heartwarming, sad, and informative. wish there was more

The Adventure continues

This is a great continuation of the adventure and the characters are well loved by now, even the newest generation. So far this is the last book here, but I really hope there is more to come.

Final Entry Falls Flat

This ultimate chapter of the Kade Saga starts strong but then fizzles into bland sentimentality. A disappointment. It's also a little sad that the author and editor don't know the difference between regretful, meaning full of regret, and regrettable, meaning something one ought to regret. For example, I regretfully report that it's regrettable that this is how the saga ends.

It was okay

I don’t think they should have went on to the next generation each book. But otherwise I liked it.

Very bad ending for a series!

I'm not sure why the author thought it'd be a good idea to write extensively about the Kade family in the first 3 volumes, only to skip ahead 20 yrs to the next generation and not mention any of them again!
Poorly executed ending to what began as a very good series.
