My Predominant Faith:
A moving story about moving
What do you do if you're in your early 30s with a resume full of bad work history and romantic failures, living a life of squandered privilege in a place that should be ideal for someone of the local faith?
If you're me, you go to a place high on a hill overlooking the Salt Lake Valley to confirm that the view you're currently seeing is something you'd rather have in your rearview mirror. You figure the best way to stand out in a crowd is to reduce the size of the crowd.
You choose to move to Oregon.
Later, once you're able to look back on that decision, you realize Utah was not the problem, but Oregon was the solution.
My Predominant Faith is a story of what can happen when someone decides to find out what changing the scenery can do, and what it can't.
Scheduled for release September 1.
