review 1: I have always admired Emma Smith, but was confused as to her decisions in later life. I loved what I learned from this book. Emma like all of us was a complicated individual with vast spiritual strengths and gifts and also human weaknesses. Hers is a story of love, trials, loss, faith, and hardship. She was truly an elect lady in that she freely gave and helped the less fortunate even if it meant that her family ate johnny cake. I really enjoyed what I learned about Emma and Joseph in this book.
review 2: I only got to skim it as I checked it out from the library for our ward book club, and I just didn't have the time I wanted to really be able to read it. At first I was disappointed in the format (kind of distantly biographical--I felt like I was back ... morein college reading one of the required texts). However, once I got past the "introduction" and really started seeing and reading the story, I really enjoyed it and I learned alot. I am looking forward to being able to buy it in the future and reading it in its entirety. I have felt an interesting sense of "kinship" with Emma the last couple years; it first started when it dawned on me that I was the same age as she was when she was widowed. That got me thinking and wanting to learn more about this elect lady who was such an integral part of the founding of the church. less
