Written by Brigham Young's favorite daughter, at least in her perception. Her frequent descriptions of his gentleness and kindness to his family are a refreshing first person witness of a man who is often portrayed otherwise.
I have read other biographies of him which too often cater to academics who require criticism of their subject to have the book acceptable in their circles. Pseudoscholars will not like this book.
Beyond the man is the story of a young girl in her own words experiencing adolescence in a loving family during a much more innocent time period in American history.
Finally is an insight into the management of a huge household where self-sufficiency was a necessity. How they worked! But they also knew how to play?all night dances, stage plays, concerts, picnics, dinner parties, hospitality abound.
The book is a treasure. I recommend it for scholars, but especially as a gift to young girls of our own era. Don't worry about giving a used edition. That will be part of the charm.
