Summary

Only a few nuclear weapons fell. But in the chaos of famine and plague, there existed a few pockets of order. The strongest of them was the state of Deseret. The climate has changed, and the lake has filled up. There, on the fringes, brave, hardworking pioneers are making the desert bloom again.

Mormon Minis

A collection of short stories detailing life after some kind of disaster, an atomic bomb or third world war. The Mormon religion is significant in each story, but it doesn't dominate or preach values, instead flows along with the narrative.
