description: Contains the Huebener; Fire In The Bones; Reunion; and, Journey To Golgotha (or, God's Fools). Excerpts from book's "The first two [plays] address the fate of two Latter-day Saints who lived and died over a half century apart -- both executed by the civil authorities of their respective native lands, both excommunicated too but posthumously restored to membership in the LDS Church. Both Huebener and Fire In The Bones unavoidably elicit sympathy for and identification with these plays' anti-heroes. Neither play was written to defame the LDS Church.... In turn, Reunion attempts to transcend the skepticism of those who, in their private disaffection, might tend to side too much with Huebener and Lee. Nor does it exonerate those at the other extreme who self-deceptively conform for all the wrong reasons. Instead, Reunion urges reconciliation, mutual acceptance and full, Christ-like fellowship between our 'liahonas' and our 'iron rodders.' Journey To Golgotha repeats the theme of the first two plays."
