When two Mormon missionaries knock on Dan Harrington's door in wintry Augusta, Maine, the Catholic freelance writer sees a great story—and gets far more than he bargained for. Over two years he meets elder after elder, shares meals and inside jokes, visits church, wrestles with doctrine, and forms real friendships. Warm, funny, and refreshingly candid, this is a rare conversion-adjacent memoir told from the outside looking in: not a triumphant baptism, but an honest human-interest portrait of the young men behind the name tags.

  • A rare missionary story told from the OTHER side of the door—by the non-member investigator.
  • Not a conversion story: an honest, funny memoir about respect between faiths.
  • Meet the real young men behind the name tags—the pizza elder, the ex-Marine, the Alaskan Mauler.
  • Written by a Catholic journalist whose newspaper article about the elders launched a two-year friendship.

Perfect for an LDS member who loves missionary stories and wants to see full-time missionaries through the eyes of a warm, witty non-member friend—and anyone curious about what an 'investigator' actually experiences.
