The result was an overwhelming project which took her close to the breaking point. In this interview with host Ruth Todd, Heidi Swinton tells about the weight of responsibility she felt while trying to capture the life and essence of Thomas S. Monson, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Sister Swinton describes the process of writing the biography of this truly remarkable man and shares some of what she learned about his life of service to others. Join us for this engaging interview with Heidi Swinton, one of a small number of people who know President Monson best, on this episode of Conversations, here on the Mormon Channel.
