Allen White was taught to be a believer. Instead, he became a nuclear physicist, astrophotographer, and musician.
Raised in a faith community that discouraged questions, Allen's inquiries took him places that his church and his father could not tolerate. Narrated by Allen himself at age thirty-three, My Name Is Allen White unfolds across three pivotal discoveries, each one a wonder, each one a wound.
The upheavals of mid-twentieth-century America provide an expansive backdrop to Allen's personal challenges. But his great controversy unfolds in the narrow foreground of home.
