    <body><![CDATA[This is my favorite book outside of the scriptures. Truly a wonder to read and ponder. The part where Luck Mack is on bed over the place in the floor boards beneath the bed the plates are hidden and her reaction truly is an inspiration. If you haven't read this book I would highly recommend it!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I am really enjoying this book.It is so interesting to learn these personal insights that his mother gives.  It's been an easy read after reading the Fire and the Covenant.  I feel the spirit of the pioneers in both of these books.Or maybe more better stated, the spirit of the early saints. ]]></body>

The Smith family endured incredible persecution and challenges, makes it easier to understand the early Utah saints defensive/cautious nature.]]></body>
