Peterson has selected stories by fifteen writers, which all ring true to experience; even the inspirational ones are not trite. The emphasis is on the struggle of intelligent individuals to achieve harmony and a sense of moral integrity in an environment that all too often opposes such goals. Contributing authors include: Wayne Carver, Kevin Cassity, R. A. (Robert Alan) Christmas, Dennis Clark, Kent Farnsworth, Sibyl Johnston, Bruce W. Jorgensen, Eileen Gibbons Kump, Lynne Larson, Donald R. Marshall, Joseph Peterson, Karen Rosenbaum, Linda Sillitoe, and David Lane Wright.

Levi S. Peterson, professor of English at Weber State University, is the author of Aspen Marooney, The Backslider, The Canyons of Grace: Stories, Juanita Brooks, and Night Soil. He is a contributor to Bright Angels and Familiars, A Literary History of the American West, Multiply and Replenish, Tending the Garden, Where Coyotes Howl and Wind Blows Free, and The Wilderness of Faith. He has received Best Book and Best Short Story awards from the Association for Mormon Letters, the BYU Center for the Study of Christian Values in Literature, the Mountain West Center for Regional Studies (USU), and the Utah Arts Council.
