Karen reads the Book of Mormon, gains a testimony of the restored gospel, and becomes a convert to he church. This is a poignant story of young romance, of lives enlarged by newfound gospel insights, and of the joy that comes from cementing eteranl family ties. It's a rich, sensitive tale that tugs the heartstrings. It leaves readers feeling good about the characters, good about themselves, and good abot the eternal nature of their family relationships.
