Summary:
Thelma's Way, Tennessee, might as well be a foreign mission according to Elder Trust Williams. It's a town known for a bunch of Mormons who got lost on their way out of Nauvoo, famous for some bad ham that got Parley P. Pratt sick enough to stay a while. Take the local branch: Brother Heck takes up living with the chickens and "tars and feathers" himself with housepaint. There's Paul the apostate, who won a trip to Rome while buying anti-lice medicine at the local Savin' Town. There's Clee Dee, Narlette, Digby, and Feeble. And the ever-alluring Grace, clairvoyant since the day her father dropped her. Nothing at the MTC could prepare Trust, or you, for the hilarity that ensues. [publisher's blurb]
