Remarkable Stories From the Lives of Latterday Saint Women Vol 2 Author:Leon R. Hartshorn From seventy-seven Latter-day Saint women, spanning nearly a century and a half from pioneer days to the present, come 112 stories of faith, inspiration, courage, testimony, love, and devotion to family, home, and Church. — Remarkable Stories from the Lives of Latter-day Saint Women, Volume 2, is an outstanding companion to Volume 1. Among ... more »the women whose stories are told are Margaret McNeil Ballard, whose son became a great Church leader; Geneva Rachel Cliff, a widow who reared an outstanding family and who made great contributions to community and fellowman despite great physical handicaps; Ruth Hardy Funk, general president of the Young Women of the Church; Emma Ray Riggs McKay and Jennette Evans McKay, the wife and the mother of a prophet; Jaynann Morgan Payne, a runner-up to Mrs. America and the mother of twelve; and Emmeline B. Wells, who bears strong testimony to the diving callings of two Church presidents.
The feelings and emotions instinctively felt by women everywhere are expressed, as one woman tells of her dreams of having a family and her adjustment when she does not bear children; as another tries to help her adopted son realize how special he is to their family; and as an anonymous writer describes the heartache and loneliness of marriage to a non-member. Powerful testimonies are borne through the lives of converts, including one from Finland and one from Korea, who risked their all to join the Church.
Each story in this book is a remarkable account, offering insight into the lives and emotions of outstanding Latter-day Saint women.« less
