This beautifully written book tells the powerful but little known story of Dr. Frederick G. Williams, chosen as a counselor to the Prophet Joseph Smith, first president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, during the formative Kirtland, Ohio, years of the Church and beyond. In this book, the compelling lessons from Frederick's life are disclosed to the betterment of any and all who are willing to learn from them. Told through the eyes of his young son, Ezra, these stories will delight and edify, as the reader is taken on a journey through good times and bad, happy days and sad, while learning what life was like in the early days of the Church.
