An honorable mention award of $200 goes to Don Marshall for i>Seeker, an intriguing story that begins with two missionaries presumed dead in an explosion in their Paris apartment building. The father of one of them, unable to put aside the spiritual feeling that his son is still alive, goes on a worldwide search to the upper Midwest, to New York, to Paris, to the South of France, to the Caribbean, to San Francisco, to Tahiti.
The loss this story explores, loss of connection between fathers and sons in LDS culture, or a deep and pervasive bafflement at how a father shall be a father to his son, is a serious matter, and Seeker takes an honest and earnest look at it.
