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.
When Trust William’s two-year transfer to the backwater woods of Tennessee came to a close, he thought he was returning to civilization. After all, the folks in Thelma’s Way thought the Internet was the extra stitching on the backside of longjohns. But lately, Southdale seems just as zany as the boondocks, just in a different way. And Trust is starting to doubt himself, his family, even the girl by his side. Can Trust find his way through the maze of modern Mormon life-from multilevel marketing to Y2k-and win the heart of the girl of his dreams to boot?
In this second volume in the Trust Williams Trilogy, Robert Farrell Smith is at it again with his contagious humor as only he can write. Don’t miss this unprecedented and playful farce that mixes in millennium mania, food storage, and Y2k with some of the most off-beat characters you’ll ever meet.
In book three of Robert Farrell Smith’s critically acclaimed comic trilogy, Trust and Grace head back to Thelma’s Way in the days leading up to their wedding. But things have run amuck in Thelma’s Way. Because it doesn’t appear on any official maps, county planners are constructing a dam that threatens to turn the backwater town into nothing but backwater.
Things between Trust and Grace are also awash. No one could foresee the wild connivings of Cindy Cravitz (alias Hope). She’s stunning and sophisticated, but things have never been quite right with Cindy ever since she was locked in the outhouse at girl’s camp. Raised on a steady diet of romance novels, Cindy thinks she knows how to win herself a man, and Trust is her prime target.
The book is filled with unexpected twists and turns, satisfying resolutions, and Smith’s patented laughable but lovable cast of Mormon misfits.
