North of Heaven

Autobiographical account by at least one (Whiting) direct descendant of Alpheus Cutler (1784-1864), an early follower of Joseph Smith who founded the Church of Jesus Christ in 1853--the Cutlerites--& served as its president. The book details how he instructed them to seek "the land between two lakes" & establish the township of Clitherall, MN, where they were to await the coming of the "Moses Man" who would lead them back to Zion. Whiting would go on to write other books about the Cutlerites & the region, & was active in the St. Paul community until she died in 2020 at the age of 93. Also chronicled is the story of the Whitlow family & their involvement with the Cutlerites.
