Mattie
by M. Ann Rohrer
“Mattie” is history made alive as we follow the young woman
through a crisis of faith, life threatening adventures, and heartbreaking
romance. Twice, she falls in love with the wrong men before returning to her
roots in Mexico to marry the man she didn’t know she loved. Then suddenly, war
descends on her happily ever after, and Mattie must bring to bear her budding
faith and indomitable spirit to survive.

“Mattie” is a sweeping historical novel based on
the life and times of the author’s maternal grandmother, who was born and raised in Colonia Juarez – one of 13
Mormon settlements in Mexico – the same one where former presidential candidate
Mitt Romney's grandfather lived.
Covering
the period of 1902 to 1917, which includes an up close and personal view of
Pancho Villa and the turbulence of the Mexican Revolution, we follow Mattie
through a crisis of faith, adventures, romance, and coming of age as she learns
to cope with her world.
