''Tell It All'': The Story of a Life's Experience in Mormonism

Fanny Stenhouse 
(1829 - 1904)

About the Author:
Fanny Warn Stenhouse (12 April 1829 – 19 April 1904) was an early Mormon pioneer who defected from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and was most famous for publishing "Exposé of Polygamy in Utah: A Lady’s Life among the Mormons", a record of personal experience as one of the wives of a Mormon elder during a period of more than twenty years in 1872.

About the Audiobook:

''Tell It All'': The Story of a Life's Experience in Mormonism

Fanny relates the experiences of a 19th century missionary as she and her young husband proselytize throughout Europe in search of converts to the new Mormon faith. Her religious zeal is sorely tested upon receipt of news from America revealing that their religion has adopted the practice of polygamy as the means to exaltation. The couple is summoned to Utah only to find themselves firmly ensconced in Brigham Young's inner circle and called upon to practice plural marriage or risk a fall from family, friends, and faith.

Public domain books

A public-domain book is a book with no copyright, a book that was created without a license, or a book where its copyrights expired or have been forfeited.

In most countries the of copyright expires on the first day of January, 70 years after the death of the latest living author. The longest copyright term is in Mexico, which has life plus 100 years for all deaths since July 1928.

A notable exception is the United States, where every book and tale published before 1926 is in the public domain; American copyrights last for 95 years for books originally published between 1925 and 1978 if the copyright was properly registered and maintained.
