Includes narratives about Steven Alley's college experiences, his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Austria, his experiences in the U.S. Army, and recollections of his father and growing up on a farm. Also includes several short story-style memoirs written by Steven Alley, titled "If You're Worth Your Cheese," "A Summer in Kodiak," "The VANGUARD," "The Son of Santa Claus," and "A Bout with Poverty."
