In the summer of 1972, my family was vacationing in Hawaii and they let me attend a meeting of some Christian group who was also there in Kona. Afterward, one of their leaders asked me if I’d ever read “No Man Knows My History.” I hadn’t and I soon forgot about his challenge. I certainly wish I’d been more inquisitive at the time. Now I’ve tried to imagine my life being free from Mormonism from that early age onward. I would have attended a secular college locally (not Ricks or BYU, but CalState Northridge), never gone on a mission, and not rushed into marriage.
Who knows? I wasn’t ready then. I just imagine a very different life with alternate outcomes.
