Roger Gaines is the promising young college student, drafted into the army and traumatized by his experiences in basic training and Vietnam. Pam Wentworth is the loving girlfriend he leaves behind, who evolves from naive college student, to political activist, to radical anarchist.

When Bryant Harkin, a 19-year-old member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, admits to his twin brother that he's gay, he expects an initial reaction of shock, followed quickly by acceptance. He has vowed to himself that he will bear any burden in order to remain a fully active member of the Church, and is devastated when his brother, his closest friend, rejects him completely.

Bryant keeps his secret, and experiences desperate loneliness and depression, relying on prayer and supportive bishops to see him through.

Ultimately, he recognizes his worth, and leads a satisfying life as a single member of the Church.

A story of tolerance, acceptance, and forgiveness, "My Burden is Light" discusses a current topic in a sensitive manner, and will uplift and inspire all those who read it.
