Fourteen-year-old Carrie Oyler craves adventure. Although her remote
desert home is full of beauty and mystery, life in their sleepy Mormon
hamlet leaves much to be desired for a strong dreamer like her. Carrie
often wonders what her future will hold. Will she become a healer like
her mother? Will she be allowed to go on a mission and travel the world?
Anything would be better than becoming a plural wife, even though it
would insure her eternal salvation. When she unexpectedly falls in love
with a boy from a Paiute tribe, and then is called upon to aid in his
rescue, Carrie becomes trapped with him in an enchanted canyon known as
The Maze. The key to their freedom comes from an unlikely source in
Renda, who is traveling cross country in search of her own identity-but
it may prove to take a combination of the past, the future, and a
mother's fierce love to unlock the magic that holds them there . . . in
all their yesterdays.
