Beloved Emma - The Illustrated Life Story Of Emma Smith (2008) - Plot & Excerpts

I have read Church history extensively, particularly the lives and times of Joseph and Emma Smith, so I didn't expect this to have much new material--but it does. It is well written in story teller fashion. I found it well researched, balanced and poignant. It is not boring history and not just for women. Men would appreciate the viewpoint of the influence of historic events on the Smith family's personal life. This book was written by a former Ricks College basketball coach that I knew and I was doubtful it would lend new insights or be more than a Deseret Book money maker. I'm happy to say, my assumption was wrong. The book was well-documented and insightful. One thing I liked is when the author pointed out things that Emma did that weren't inline with her overall character, she didn't try to guess at her motive. If she couldn't document it, she simply said that we may never know why she said this thing or did this. I think I grew to love Emma more from reading the book, despite some of it making me sad.
