Short Story
At last, here is a collection of short fiction that realistically addresses what it means to be part of a Latter-day Saint family. Eighteen LDS writers, both new and established, have created insightful, touching stories that show how the hearts of family members can be turned to one another. [. . .] These stories are entertaining and then go beyond to show the powerful role of commitment in family relationshs. A landmark in LDS fiction, Turning Hearts will touch readers' souls and can help turn their hearts to their own families. [from back cover]
