I wanted to get this book for Christmas, but I guess all my hinting failed to make sense to Chris. Lucky me, my friend Erin let me borrow it. I loved it! I couldn't put it down. I know our lives are completely different than they were back then. But I honestly feel like I can't complain. Joseph and Emma struggled and sacrificed so much. I could relate to Emma as a mother, and
truly felt her pain in all her trials. I can't believe how much the mormons were persecuted. I don't understand it. I'm so grateful for their much endurance so that I can have the knowledge of the gospel and the comfort it brings me daily.
