Future Missionaries of America

I read a LOT of books. Most of them are just o.k. Every now and then I will stumble across a book/writer that simply takes my breath away. This book of short stories is amazingly varied, and every story is captivating. Beyond that, the plots and characters are so fleshed out that you instantly see them fully realized by the second page. The title story is one of the best written short stories I have read in many years. It concerns a boy-girl relationship, and the boy is a Seventh Day Adventist. I dated a SDA once, and this story is very, very true to that religion. It was a story and that I read, backed up, and immediately read again. Buy this book.
