The History of Joseph Smith by His Mother is deeply entrenched in LDS literature. This is a must read for all Mormons and anyone trying to understand the life of Joseph Smith. After reading this you will realize that every other book about Joseph Smith either quotes from Mother Smith or has reference to it.
The story begins with a genealogy of the Smith and Mack families. Then moves to the childhood of Joseph. The bulk of the book concerns the building of the restored Church on Earth and the trials and tribulations the Prophet and his family suffered in doing so.

I know that Carolyn Jessop is not a Mormon but rather a Fundamentalist. However this gives insight into fundamentalist viewpoint. It also helps members of the LDS Church understand the differences between between the two religions so that they can better defend themselves to those who are ignorant of the distinctions between the two.
