Ten year old James is amused by the Mormon preachers who visit his mountain homeland. A small community that lay protected from outsiders by towering Alpine mountains.
The strength of these mountains has allowed James' people to thrive for centuries in the face of terrible persecution from outsiders.
Now James' family faces a new and unexpected threat. One that many in the community fear will be more dangerous than anything that has come before.
Mormon Missionaries have come to their mountain.

A coming of age story, that follows ten year old James as he wrestles between the beliefs that his people have cherished for generations, and the new ideas being preached in their valleys.
