When I first started reading this book, I thought it was really boring. But then after the first hundred and fifty pages, it actually got good. It got so good that I read the next hundred and twenty eight pages in two days. This book is about this guy in Las Vegas whose dad is abusive and so he runs away to Provo, Utah. Before he ran away he met the LDS missionaries in Las Vegas, and he decides to investigate their church a little further. He ends up being baptized and going on a mission himself. There's ALOT more stuff in this book like, his sister ends up running away with a guy that works in a casino and marries him. They have a kid, but then Michael(the main character, the brother of the girl) and his new wife take care of his sisters child like it is their own. The guy Michael's sister Stephanie marries is involved in Identity theft and he steals Michael's bank account and credit card numbers and empties their bank account. Then he takes his child whom he doesn't want away from Michael and his wife, Laura. Then he tries to kill Michael. Then Stephanie turns in herself, her husband, and the other guy involved with the Identity theft. (These events are not in order and are not everything that happens, this is just a short summary. Lol.)
