It's kind of natural when we read journal accounts of the horrible things that happened back then. But that's no truer than thinking that every Mormon at the time was a wonderful, peaceful, faithful person."”Perfect for an LDS teen or adult who enjoys clean, fast action-adventure thrillers and appreciates a story built around Missouri church history sites.
