Fanny Stenhouse
Book Overview:
Fanny relates the experiences of a 19th century missionary as she and her young husband proselytize throughout Europe in search of converts to the new Mormon faith. Her religious zeal is sorely tested upon receipt of news from America revealing that their religion has adopted the practice of polygamy as the means to exaltation. The couple is summoned to Utah only to find themselves firmly ensconced in Brigham Young's inner circle and called upon to practice plural marriage or risk a fall from family, friends, and faith.

An agonizing read for anyone who can relate to the betrayals Fanny endures. This is Stenhouse's second book; the first is shorter but they both cover much the same ground in terms of autobiographical information, although this one generally gives more details (for example, in the first book I was co
An excruciating but essential read for all members of the LDS church. I hold great respect for this 19th century whistleblower who had the courage to leave an abusive institution.

She tells of her adventures when called to serve a mission with her new husband and later of th
