Mormons--Fiction;
Troy's relationship with his father centers around their shared love of hunting. But while on his mission in Germany, Troy decided he doesn't want to kill animals anymore. He arrives home and, in order to not disappoint his father, goes on a hunting trip with him, planning to simply tag along and not shoot anything. His best intentions prove not be enough, however, when four beautiful bucks come across his path.
