Emma Madsen is on the run. She is on the run and off the map. For seventeen years, she has almost squeezed herself onto the straight and narrow path charted by the Mormon Church and her own devout parents. But she's tired of rules, boxes, and rigid lines-the things her black-and-white-thinking father, Graham, seems to value most. Emma craves freedom. Graham craves control. When he puts his foot down on yet another detail of her life, Emma decides she's done complying. She speeds for the swiftest offramp, a sin so egregious that surely no one will try to coax her back to the fold. To her dismay, a positive pregnancy test quickly follows.
Emma can think of only one adult who might be willing and able to offer help: her estranged, free-spirited, never-Mormon grandmother. Belly fluttering with uncertainty, Emma heads for the high desert of southern Utah to find her. This exodus sends out sparks, igniting Emma's family and lighting fires no one imagined.
All Is Well follows Emma on her quest to carve out a life of her own, and it trips along behind her family and friends in their attempts to either rescue or thwart her. It is a celebration of imperfect love and a romping exploration of the ways we lose and find ourselves-all set against red rocks, craggy peaks, and the peculiar landscape of Mormon culture.
