Fawn, a member of the Mormon Church's oldest family, merged her writing talents and exceptional research abilities to create a stunning biography of Joseph Smith. No Man knew My History appeared in 1945. The name was taken from the title of a sermon that Joseph Smith delivered in 1844. He shocked his hearers with his words: "You don't know me, and have not heard my heart. No one knows my story. I can't tell.
