Exodus: a Mormon history tour

Exodus: A Mormon History Tour is a creative nonfiction journey narrative that traces the author's path in and out of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly referred to as the Mormon church. This memoir piece includes elements of the Bible's Exodus story and essential Mormon history and theology, with a focus on Joseph Smith, the church's founder. Through a fragmented though chronological form, the memoir offers a variously spiritual, logical, emotional, and psychological exploration of issues surrounding faith and spirituality, spiritual knowledge, inculcation of belief, memory, record keeping, self-representation, and so on. The piece is interspersed with and undergirded by depictions of landscapes of northern Utah.
