Tell It All: The Story of a Life's Experience in Mormonism is a 1874 autobiographical work by Fanny Stenhouse, a British Mormon convert, co-written with Harriet Beecher Stowe who penned a preface for the book. Stenhouse recounts her life within the Mormon Church, focusing on her experiences with polygamy as a polygamist's wife and her subsequent disillusionment with the church, its leaders, and practices. The book was a critical exposé, published after the Stenhouses joined a dissident faction and were excommunicated from the LDS Church, and also includes details about the Mountain Meadows Massacre. 

Fanny Stenhouse's firsthand account provides a critical view of Mormonism, detailing her experiences as a polygamist's wife and the emotional and social toll it took. 

The book is a notable expose, accusing Mormon leaders of manipulation and fear tactics to maintain control over members and calling for women's liberation from polygamous bondage. 
Harriet Beecher Stowe's Preface:
Stowe's introduction expresses sympathy for women in polygamous marriages and encourages efforts to end the practice. 

The work offers insight into a tumultuous period in the Mormon Church's history, including the Godbeite movement and details of the Mountain Meadows Massacre and the subsequent confession and execution of Bishop John D. Lee. 

Fanny Stenhouse and her husband, T.B.H. Stenhouse, were British missionaries for the Mormon Church who later became disillusioned and left the church to join the Godbeites.
