It feels to me that any book written by a member of the church is "OK", but if the same material is written by a non/ex mo than it must be "Anti". I just have not found that to be the case.
Has anyone here read Fawn Brodie "No man knows my History"?

Brodie was LDS. I think her 1st edition was better without all the psycho-stuff she added later. Reminds me of Michael Moore's Bush "documentary" on 9/11----- "What was Bush thinking? Was he thinking 'I need to get a haircut.'?" (sigh)
No doubt she is a good writer, though.
