A gripping historical fiction sharing the complex legacy of Joseph Smith—the “Holy Joe” who changed the world.
COOKSTOWN, NJ, UNITED STATES, December 5, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — “Holy Joe!: Prophet, Seer, and Revelator (Mormon Protagonist)” by author Just Judy takes readers on a remarkable journey through the dramatic life of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon religion. Set against the backdrop of 1822 Upstate New York, the novel begins with the discovery of a mysterious stone, propelling a young Smith into fame as a treasure-seeker. Soon, his life takes a turn as his visions evolve from treasures buried in the earth to heavenly messages that would lay the foundation for a new faith.
Smith, often known as “Holy Joe” for both his charismatic appeal and his knack for provoking his followers, is portrayed in this compelling historical fiction as a man full of contradictions. Admired by many but distrusted by others, Smith’s story is a loop of faith, frustration, and the constant clash of belief and skepticism. Through Just Judy’s vivid storytelling, readers experience Smith’s rise from a controversial treasure-digger to the controversial figure who would inspire millions and also face intense opposition, ultimately leading to his martyrdom.
With rich character development and historical insight, “Holy Joe!” explores Smith’s profound influence on the birth of the Mormon faith and the challenges he faced from both devoted followers and those who opposed him. Judy’s portrayal of Smith as both a prophet and a polarizing figure gives a refreshing and nuanced look at the complex man behind the myth.
Just Judy, a retired business professional with a passion for historical fiction, crafts a tale that delves into the struggles of belief and identity. Her own journey through the Mormon faith has deeply informed this project, creating a personal and poignant narrative. “Holy Joe!” is the first installment in what promises to be a captivating series that examines the legacy of one of history’s most enigmatic figures.
Fans of historical fiction, religious history, and dramatic storytelling will find “Holy Joe!” to be an engrossing read that challenges perceptions and brings the past to life in ways never before imagined—available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major online bookstore retailers.
