The Fading Flower Mahonri Stewart

David Hyrum Smith is the youngest son of Joseph Smith, the first prophet of Mormonism. Yet, David never knew his father who was murdered by a mob before he was born. Raised by his powerful mother, Emma Smith, David must chart a new spiritual course as his brother Joseph III distances their family from Brigham Young's version of Mormonism in Utah, while still seeking to honor their father's place in the Restorationist movement. David's search for the truth, however, brings him on a path full of peril, as he seeks deeper and deeper into his family's past.
