Joseph and Emma
A Love Story, Volume 1

\'What is it you want, Joseph?\' Emma asked. \'I want to understand God, to think with His thoughts, to see with His vision, to see myself as He knows me, to know all that He knows. It\'s a hunger that drives me, Emma. It pushes me when I walk. It swings the axe when I\'m felling. It wakens me in the middle of the night. It rides my shoulders and penetrates my soul. It is my constant companion. I feel it is possible to live in the world of angels and spirits. I\'ve been there a few times. The veil is very thin, and the hunger to live in that world won\'t leave.\'

Emma Hale was a favorite child of Issac Hale. Even though her father did not approve of Joseph Smith, her love for the young prophet became the driving force of her life. This is the story of how Joseph and Emma met, fell in love, married, and then went on to carry out the divine work Joseph was called to do.

Joseph and Emma: A Love Story gives the reader an appreciation of major LDS Church historical events from the perspective of the Smiths\' personal lives. This book poignantly illustrates the heartbreak of losing their first son at the same time they lost the sacred 116-page manuscript of the Book of Mormon. It paints a vivid picture of the organization of the church, the unforgettable episode of the Three Witnesses, and the supreme efforts of the impoverished saints in building a temple to the Lord. Experiencing history through the eyes of Joseph and Emma gives the reader an understanding of the depth of love and devotion they felt for one another.
