Many Latter-day Saints have cried out to the Lord in anguish when their hopes, dreams, and expectations have been shattered by crises and misfortune. In this book, twelve people recount their confrontations with some of life's most potentially devastating trials: divorce of the "perfect" couple, excommunication, terrorist kidnapping of a missionary, nervous breakdown, old age, singleness in a "married" work, accidental death of a child, substance abuse by a teenager, and life-threatening birth defects.
