Author: Helen Cortez Stafford
About Product:
An attractive, teen--age Mormon girl, growing to maturity as a pioneer, whose noble, steadfast mother was the anchor of her early life, is the authentic, historical, central character of this beautiful, true, dramatic story.
Pioneer diaries, letters, and the memories of living relatives and friends provided the research materials used by the author to tell this fascinating story.
With sympathy and the sure skill of an expert craftsman, Mrs. Stafford builds the story from crisis to crisis. The charm of the story is in the clear and steady unfolding to fulfillment in beautiful maturity of the character of Mary Ann Phelps Rich.
That truth is more satisfying than fiction and more convincing is well illustrated by this book. The title ""Sweet Love Remembered,” taken from a phrase in Shakespeare's famous sonnet, is supported by the facts of Mary Ann’s rich and colorful life. Her mother's love, Mary Ann’s love for her mother and father, for her Nauvoo friend and friends, for her people, her husband and her children, and this love returned to her many fold, sustained her through the crises of her life. Truly she could say:
“For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings."
This universally applicable principle gives this book its wide and warm appeal.
