The Mormon Prophet by L. Dougall
QR code
"The Mormon Prophet" by Lily Dougall is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and experiences surrounding the early days of Mormonism, focusing on key figures like Joseph Smith and his followers while also delving into societal misconceptions about the religion. The narrative appears to particularly highlight the complex dynamics between faith, personal beliefs, and societal pressures during a time of religious upheaval in America.
The opening of the novel presents a vivid backdrop of the early 19th century and introduces us to the Croom family, particularly the intellectual and studious Ephraim Croom, who finds himself at odds with the religious fervor surrounding him. As discussions about Joseph Smith and Mormonism unfold within the family, Ephraim's curiosity and skepticism clash with his mother’s fervent beliefs. At the same time, we meet Susannah, a beautiful and impetuous niece who brings a fresh perspective into the Croom household. As their stories intertwine with the growing religious movement, the complexities of belief, love, and societal judgment set the stage for a gripping exploration of faith in the midst of turmoil.
