| 0:16.6 | endorsement. The book is called Chosen Path, The Memoir, it's got the name D. Michael Quinn on it, but Barbara Jones Brown, I think you had something to do with it as well, right? |
| 0:27.0 | Sure, I published it. My company published it, Signature Books, and I edited it and was the lead annotator of it. |
| 0:35.6 | Yeah, your name should be on the cover then, no, no, no, no, all the credit goes to Michael. |
| 0:40.4 | Okay, all right. Well, I'm going to be honest, Can I be honest? I'm going to be a little vulnerable. Like, I've been doing this stuff for so long, 30 years, whatever, I've heard so many books. And sometimes, as you get tired of Mormonism and Mormon history, believe it or not. |

| 1:45.0 | buy Chosen Path. You will not regret it. That's my endorsement. Barbara Jones Brown, |
| 1:51.0 | welcome back to Mormon Stories Podcast. |
