i read a book

can you believe it?

and i loved it. i picked up a biography of emma smith while in nauvoo. it was amazing, and it got me interested in the stories of the early saints. it also got me thinking a lot about polygamy, and tina told me i should read this. wow.

it's the story of a fictional character, dinah kirkham, who has more trials than any of us could ever imagine. the character is mostly based on eliza r. snow (that's how i figured out she was fictional - some of the events were starting to sound a little familiar.)

it was the kind of book that stays with you. i have a feeling it has changed me. read it.
