It is a touching story

I think this is the best book I have read on the history of Nauvoo. It mixes spirituality, politics, and romance all into one. It is great watching how Lovina and Lorin overcome their problems as a couple and find the purest love possible.

Lovina became alive to me!!!

Becky has done an incredible job with this book. I have read it over and over, and I never tire of it. Nauvoo has always beena a special love for me. I have participated in the City of Joseph pagent for years, and I believe that Becky has grasped the very Spirit of Nauvoo and set it gently on paper. Which of us cannot sympathize with Lovina Smith, a beautiful young saint with all the foibles of a girl emerging into womanhood. Who can help but laugh with her, sigh with her, and especially weep with her as she faces the greatest trials of her life in a way that brings strength to us all. If you love The Work and the Glory, The Belle of Nauvoo is a MUST!
