What happened to the Prophet Joseph Smith's family after that fateful day at Carthage Jail? This carefully documented history traces the lives of his widow Emma, his brothers and sisters, and his children through grief, remarriage, the succession crisis, and the founding of the Reorganized Church under Joseph Smith III. It examines the painful rift between Emma and Brigham Young and offers a thorough scriptural defense of plural marriage from Abraham to Wilford Woodruff's Manifesto.
- Answers the question few histories address: what happened to the Prophet's family after Carthage
- A sympathetic yet unflinching portrait of Emma Smith and her lifelong stand against plural marriage
- Explains the LDS/RLDS split from the family's own letters and words
- A scriptural walk-through of plural marriage from Abraham to the Manifesto
“"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken this family!"”
Perfect for an adult Latter-day Saint interested in early Church history who wants to understand Emma Smith, the RLDS split, and the origins and defense of plural marriage.
