'''Tell It All'': The Story of a Life's Experience in Mormonism' Summary
'Tell It All' chronicles Fanny Stenhouse's life as a young Mormon missionary in Europe, detailing her fervent faith and dedication to spreading the teachings. The book takes a dramatic turn as she and her husband receive news of the implementation of polygamy, a practice that deeply challenges her convictions. The narrative unfolds as the couple is called to Utah, where they become deeply entangled within the inner circle of Brigham Young, facing the pressure to embrace plural marriage. The book poignantly captures Fanny's inner struggles, the societal pressures surrounding polygamy, and the impact of these practices on her personal life and relationships. Through her candid narrative, she offers a critical examination of early Mormonism, exposing the complexities of belief, societal control, and the lived experiences of individuals within a rapidly evolving religious community.Book Details
