Like many young boys, Cory Young grew up with an imaginary friend. In Cory's case, it was his ancestor Brigham Young--or rather, "Brother Brigham," as Cory knew him. During Cory's formative years, Brother Brigham filled the boy's head with grand expectations of an important mission in life. Now grown up with a wife and two young sons, Cory has sacrificed his dreams to earn a living for his family. Brother Brigham is just a distant memory-until one day he returns in a most unexpected way. As Brother Brigham's appearances and instructions grow increasingly bold, Cory struggles to hold together his faith, his marriage, and his sanity.
