An extensive compilation of Reddick's work, this book not only includes numerous pictures and brief histories of his parents Isaac Allred and Mary Calvert, but also provides an intimate look at the life of a faithful Saint living through the exciting and tumultuous early days of the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ. of Latter-day Saints.
