Singled Out

by Eric Samuelsen

Singled Out is based on Dr. Samuelsen's play, The Way We're Wired. In awarding this play the 1999 Citation for Drama, The Association of Mormon Letters "[This play] does what all plays should and only the best few it takes us deeply and satisfying into the minds and hearts of real people; lets us take the measure of their pain and joy; and causes us to discover that they are us. With this play, Eric has taken drama of the contemporary Mormon scene to a whole new country, but, actually, love. Everyone, Mormon or non-Mormon, who is thinking about trying to become a human being, should see this extraordinary play about every six months."

It was a slow start for me, but before I was half-way through it, I was glad that I had continued reading this book.

It was okay as far as non-conformist LDS literature goes. I was single briefly for 19 months so never really was a LDS single so I can only guess that sometimes it is hell on earth.
