Great book on the relationship between Emma and Joseph

First of all, this book is not a history of the life of Joseph Smith. The book focuses more on Emma, thus the title "Emma and Joseph." The book is written by the great-great-grandaughter of Joseph and Emma (through their son Alexander Hale Smith). She writes as anyone else writing about their family would and as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (not RLDS). She discusses all the highlights and good times, while skirting around the contreversial issues. If you want to read a good book with many facts concerning the relationship between Emma, Joseph and the beginings of Mormonism, this is a good book. If you want all the details dealing with the contreversial aspects of early Mormonism, read something else. Give this book a try , you will enjoy it and you will learn something new about Emma and Joseph Smith.
