I found this video @ https://sites.google.com/view/mymormonfamily/home, while looking for information about an author of a Novel (book) named Samuel David Steiner. The Novel is called "Bipolar Winter", it's about Seventh day Adventists conspiring to destroy the Catholic Church; So, when I heard it mentioned by a friend, I became curious and I searched for information on the Novel and its author.
In searching for information I discovered that the author Samuel David Steiner describes himself as being related to dozens of Mormons, many were founders of the denomination, others doctors, also politicians, some were businessmen, and even a Judge. I also noticed that he was previously known by another name:
On his father's side, Samuel David Steiner f/k/a Vernon Lee Leggett is related to each of the seventeen prophets of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as the Mormon or LDS Church). Steiner is also related to nine of the current members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

Mr. Samuel David Steiner f/k/a Vernon Lee Leggett, has been asked by many Seventh-day Adventist, friends, and family to share an introduction to the teachings found in The Book of Mormon that would have motivated the early Mormons to sacrifice everything to follow their Prophet to Utah. The following are four videos of talks given by one of Samuel Steiner's relatives which provide that insight. Please watch them in the following order:
Futhermore, I found that Samuel David Steiner claims he was raised Seventh day Adventist:
Samuel David Steiner
I was born on October 11, 1952, in Mobile, Alabama, U.S.A.
I was raised as a Seventh-day Adventist (SDA). My parents remained faithful to the church's teachings their whole life. My father, a church pastor who later became a church administrator, was a loving man devoted to his family. My gracious mother likewise loved her children deeply. Despite their membership in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, my parents cared for their children well and instilled in them the virtues of honesty and integrity. When I left the Seventh-day Adventist Church, I embraced my mother's Jewish roots and found my home in the ancient faith.
According to a church tradition, I was to follow in his father's footsteps and become a church administrator. I was to help further develop the massive medical arm of the church as a modern evangelistic tool.
I decided that I would not support a Sabbath (Saturday) keeping church that teaches its young people they could soon be forced into prison or even lose their lives for defying church teachings. According to the prophecies of the SDA Church, the United States government will soon pass laws forbidding any Christian from worshiping on Saturday. As unbelievable as this sounds, I struggled with the concept. Additional false teachings of the church ultimately prompted me to leave the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Bipolar Winter is a work of fiction, but much of the story is based on facts.
My story, as told in Bipolar Winter, is available at www.BipolarWinter.com

Steiner was raised in the heart of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and culture. From early childhood, he became aware that the current church was not teaching what the founders of the church had taught for over sixty years heightening his concern that the church was indoctrinating children with the teaching that one day soon, the United States government woulddeny[enforce] worship on Sunday instead of Saturday. Steiner says, "I decided to make my stance and put my knowledge into a fiction book to entertain and raise awareness."
======
After reviewing the above information I conclude that Samuel David Steiner, a.k.a. Vernon Lee Leggett is either not very honest or confused about his Mormon, Seventh day Adventist, and Jewish origins. Therefore, I conclude that the same can be said about his "Bipolar Winter" Novel, it can not be relied on for an accurate representation of Seventh day Adventism, though he many claim it's a Fiction Novel Based on Historical Facts. "Bipolar Winter" seems more like slander of a people whose movement has diligently studied the Bible and accepts it as God's word. Historic Adventists consider the Prophecies of the Bible as Gospel Truth, and expect them to be fulfilled exactly as they were written.
This book may be a classic case of the pot calling the kettle BIPOLAR.
Arsenio.
