He had a calling. She was in need. The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Shortly after his engagement to the prettiest girl at BYU, God called the elders of the Church with a message for Aaron: It was time to serve as a missionary—just for the summer.
Aaron must have been doing a really good job answering his calling because God kept calling the elders back in Utah to extend Aaron’s mission.
Years later and painfully homesick, twenty-two-year-old Aaron finds himself in the affluent neighborhood of Sterling Heights.
When he knocks on the door of Ivy St. Clair, a stunning 38-year-old former model and neglected trophy wife, he is encouraged by just how eager she seems about the Good News he has come to share.
But Ivy has a few lessons of her own to share with Aaron.
Because Ivy sees what the elders and everyone but him can: Aaron’s a man now.
Missionary is a literary, tongue-in-cheek, cougar-induced cumming-of-age existential crisis, exploring the intersection faith and corruption through religious symbolism, sexual innuendo, and one young man's very unorthodox journey to spiritual awakening.
