A review by cpope9
The History of Joseph Smith by His Mother by Lucy Mack Smith

2.0

There just wasn't a whole lot new to me here. In addition, there was a bit of pretentiousness guised thinly as humility about the author and her stories that rubbed me the wrong way. In addition, there were some details shared that were apparent exaggerations and embellishments, particularly in some direct quotes that were so inconsistent and blatantly inaccurate in their telling that it made me question the validity of many other things in this book. At that point the tone seemes to be more fluffy and propaganda-ish. In all this was not as essential or convincing and faith-promoting/enhancing as I was hoping.
