Description
Sister Jane Manning, probably the most first African Americans to sign up for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, returns to Nauvoo to seek out that Joseph Smith, her prophet and family member, has been assassinated. Jane spends a sleepless night together with his widow, Emma, sitting watch over the body of the Prophet. As a whirlwind of memory, loss, and confusion leaves them puzzling over how either one will be capable of move forward. In the course of the long night, Jane wonders if the Prophet’s promise to increase the blessings of eternity to her has died together with him.
