Anderson studies five letters written by Emma Smith to her husband Joseph during a period of intense trial and sacrifice. Anderson comments on Emma's endurance, faith, and exceptional trust in the Lord, especially while Joseph was held in Liberty jail. Emma had to lead their children across the frozen prairies from Missouri to Illinois, deal with the constant worry of Joseph's death, and endure persecutions, but through it all she remained willing to sacrifice for whatever cause Joseph and the Lord deemed necessary.
