Writing a life is an impossibility comprised half of documentary evidence, half of intuition, and half of devil-may-care daring with words. For this he deserves a prize in life writing. His lively, almost colloquial style, matching the never-quiet life of an unexceptional pioneer, makes us participants in the everyday pioneer Mormon experience. But it differs from the historical norm in its text: with verve and dash, Hartley bodies forth one of Mormonism’s ordinary men living an extraordinary life. Hartley’s recent biography of Mormon convert John Lowe Butler (1808-1860), has all the trappings of historical treatise: forty-nine pages of notes, an index, and over five hundred items of bibliography.

At Christmas, her brother Bjorn, his new wife Trish, his friend Richard, and Richard's beautiful companion Fleur arrive at the Bjorkman's Minnesota home for a surprise visit.
