The Turmoil of Polygamy: Joseph and Emma Smith
This chapter examines the contentious dynamics of Joseph Smith's marriages, particularly focusing on his relationships with underage girls and the moral implications of coercion disguised as divine intervention.

Through critical analysis of historical events, artistic representations, and the legal ramifications of Smith's actions, the chapter sheds light on the complex, often painful reality of early LDS church history.
