Elizabeth Prentiss: More Love To Thee (Sharon James)

After reading Stepping Heavenward, I was eager to read this. This is a very real biography. It doesn't gloss faults, but is still aims to be encouraging. I was disappointed with the direction Prentiss' husband took toward the end of his life; he layed the groundwork for the greater victory of liberalism a generation later. I was also disappointed to see how the family started to take a backseat in this era of Church history; where is Prentiss' husband during most of her trials? Prentiss' trials are gut-wrenching, especially the death of her child. The section on Payson (Prentiss' father) at the beginning is worth the price of the book.
