I figured I needed to jump on the bandwagon and see what all the fuss about Sister Hinckley was. Okay, now I know. She was a wonderful lady, and a good example, and this book, put together by her daughter Virginia Pearce, captures that pretty well. There were times when I wished they had more from Sister Hinckley and less from people saying how great she was. But, overall, it’s a wonderful, uplifting book about a wonderful, uplifting lady. I really enjoyed her talks at the end. Not laden with doctrine, but nice little snapshots of the way she thinks and speaks. I wish I had had a chance to hear her talk; when President Hinckley visited Memphis a couple years back, she refused the invitation to speak. Now I’ll never get that chance, except through books like this.

Well, then, you’ll have to read <>Letters<> since it’s all her writing. And she’s not always perfect in her letters. I liked <>Small and Simple Things<> too, but it’s not particularly meaty. But I’m not much of a quote person.

This may seem like a stupid question, but I’ve got to ask it anyway: she was a Latter-Day-Saint (Mormon), right?

Amira — My mom’s got letters, and I browsed through it when we were up there for my sister’s wedding. Nice, but I don’t think it’s too personal for me to really enjoy. Maybe I’ll see if I can find <>Small and Simple Things<>.Isorion — Yes, she was LDS. As am I. š
