Set in the 1860s at Utahâ€™s Dixie Mission,Â ,The Giant Joshua,Â is the deeply moving story of a far-flung outpost in the desert where a band of Mormons, like the giant Joshua, fight to survive in an arid land. A young Mormon girlâ€”innocent, tender, courageousâ€”finds herself torn between fear of her older husband and love for his son; between her passionate faith in the stern tenets of Mormonism and her equally passionate desire for beauty and gaiety.Â , Considered a classic in historical fiction,Â ,The Giant Joshua,Â was first published by Houghton Mifflin in 1941., Distributed for Western Epics Publishing.
