To understand it fully requires one to look at it from the perspective of the man who introduced it, but just as crucial is a dive into the lives of the women he married, all who have their stories to tell. In his 1997 award-winning study, \u003ci\u003eIn Sacred Loneliness: The Plural Wives of Joseph Smith\u003c\/i\u003e, Todd Compton focused on the thirty-three women who he could demonstrate that Smith married, providing life stories of many who were well-known and others who have been largely forgotten. In his new work, \u003ci\u003eIn Sacred Loneliness: The Documents\u003c\/i\u003e, Compton returns to his subject and provides the raw materials that helped him create his original study, writings composed by the women themselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This volume includes many autobiographical writings, diaries, and letters, with Compton providing annotations and introductory material that illuminates these crucial primary sources. This allows readers to take their understanding of this unique group of women to a new level and to drive home that fact that their lives go far beyond the Nauvoo experiment that forever links them to Mormonism's founding prophet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Signature Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781560854487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.86d","brand":"Todd Compton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42314700357813,"sku":"9781560854487","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d4d1d4f8-2d96-4d21-8ee3-fc57373185d7.jpg?v=1659412442","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/in-sacred-loneliness-the-documents-9781560854487","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
