Winner.

I know what you're thinking, "Another one of those low budget, cheesy Mormon movies." I thought the same thing. I usually can't stand the majority of the troubled missionary/neighborhood BBQ/creepy Mormon town movie productions that emerge from our culture. But this movie, my friends (not meaning to sound like John McCain hear), is a winner.

I've always felt a little uneasy about the opinions that are so often thrown around about Emma Smith. This movie certainly sets the record straight and portrays a historically accurate, brilliant glimpse into her wonderful life. I'm amazed by her faith as she lost so many precious children to tragedy and constantly wondered whether this would be the last time she'd see her husband alive. It gives me strength knowing that I come from a legacy of strong women who trusted in God and faithfully and cheerfully overcame extraordinary things. Go see this if you get a chance. Very touching.
