Brian and Laura Hales are the authors of Joseph Smith’s Polygamy: Toward a Better Understanding.

Brian is an anesthesiologist. Brian’s interest in polygamy began when he had a family member who was excommunicated for joining a polygamist group. As a result he researched and wrote three books about polygamy. However, he kept getting questions specifically about Joseph Smith and polygamy, which is why he wrote Joseph Smith’s Polygamy: History and Theology (plus 2 more volumes) and Joseph Smith’s Polygamy: Toward a Better Understanding.
