David Farland’s standalone novel In the Company of Angels was published in 2009. The book is a work of historical fiction based on the true story of the Willie Handcart Company, a group of Mormon pioneers who attempted to cross the American plains by pulling handcarts in 1856. The journey became one of the worst disasters in the history of westward migration.
This book stands apart from Farland’s fantasy and science fiction work. It shows his ability to write in a completely different mode, applying his storytelling skills to real historical events with emotional weight.
