I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. We viewed it as a family today and really enjoyed the perspective of the Restoration of the Gospel from Emma’s point of view. I came away with a new and even deeper appreciation of her as a woman of great strength amidst tremendous trials and horrendous difficulties. I was so glad that Candlelight Productions brought the film to St. Louis to give us a chance to see it and to appreciate Emma Smith, the wife of the Prophet Joseph Smith. I hope as many as can, will go see it while it is here on it’s brief stop in St. Louis.
