When strangers found out Bruce was a Mormon, often their first question was, "So, how many wives do you have?"
"Four . . . but only one at a time, same as you." And if they still weren't able to find their tongue, he might add, "And twelve children."
Then if they didn't say, "What were you thinking?" they usually tried to recover by joking, "What's Thanksgiving like at your house?"
"A whole lot of pies."

Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, Bruce and Chloë's story will leave you pondering the possibilities of love and family and eternity.
