She had join the Church a little before the July 1978 proclamation when all righteous males could join the pristhood reading her tell the story and that moment brought tears to my eyes too it was really a true jublilee in spirit of the Lord!


Proud, intelligent, stubborn, rebellious Mary Frances Sturlaugson was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the fifteenth child in a black family of twenty-four children. In this book Mary portrays vividly and forthrightly her struggle to survive in a hostile environment.

The first of her family to graduate from high school. She applies for, and is awarded, a full scholarship to Dakota Wesleyan University in South Dakota. A summer job on a nearby Indian reservation puts Mary in direct contact with the much-despised Mormon missionaries. Seeing her chance to vent her hatred for these whites, who represent, in her eyes, the epitome of racist propaganda, Mary takes them on in full-scale battle.......
