Robert Stevenson, an African-American Mormon, marries Susan Bevan, a white Mormon. They had met at Brigham Young University as students, but her Mormon family questions the viability of the relationship. Stevenson later notes that "everybody from the garbage man to the stake president had told her that marrying me would be to her eternal detriment." They seek an interview with a general authority, Boyd K. Packer. Packer calls in Marion D. Hanks. According to Stevenson, "Elder Packer squared off on one side, and Elder Hanks squared off on the other." Packer argued that Stevenson "could accomplish [his] mission in life and be more effective without being married to a white woman." Hanks said, "I think it's the best thing in the world that you marry Susan. I think that you'll be more effective and you'll be able to break down racial barriers easier." (1)

Was hoping Nov 15th would finally stick but it came and went. Now Amazon says Feb 15th 2017. Hopefully it's the last delay.iamse7en wrote:Ok, now Feb 2016, which I'm sure won't be the case. But they got a nice new page of info on the book and author, but more importantly, page count: 800 pages. Ahhhh yes. Can't wait. 400 of them bound to be footnotes, but I like those too.
