About the Book

A penniless law student, Jonathon Locke takes a teaching contract in Big Blue Basin in southern Utah in 1899. A non-Mormon, he is plunged into the rural frontier Mormon culture less than a generation away from the first pioneers that settled the area. Acceptance, intolerance, sin and righteousness all impact young Jonathon, as do the unforgiving elements on this harsh red sandstone frontier. Jonathon's spiritual and physical struggles in this environment are further complicated in that several young Mormon women take a fancy to the law student turned teacher less than a decade after polygamy was abandoned. Based on actual incidents, events and areas in rural frontier southern Utah, Await the Dawn on a Mormon Frontier, recounts the story of settlers struggling to live and prosper in a beautiful but inhospitable land.
About the Author: Clay Mulford Robinson was born in November 1920 in Caineville, Utah - now a ghost town. Years ago it was a thriving village on the Mormon frontier. His parents, grandparents, and great grandparents lived under circumstances similar to those of the people of fiction depicted in this novel, Await the Dawn on a Mormon Frontier. As a youth, Clay - riding his mustang friend, Whinny - tended sheep on the family-farm range and helped in the harvest on the farm. In 1938 he entered college, got a degree in journalism and English and began a career in journalism in 1941 with the Salt Lake Tribune. After a time out for four years in Army-Signal Corps during World War II, he then returned to professional writing, editing, and photography. He became an advertising executive specializing in agriculture and food products. In 1941 he married Barbara Woodhouse. Their marriage lasted more than 70 years. They raised four children together: two sons and two daughters. Barbara passed on to the World of Tomorrow in 2012. Clay lived in West Jordan, Utah and joined his beloved Barbara in 2013 when this book was in final proofing.
