It’s been decades since I left Salt Lake City Ut. Even though I was born and raised in the LDS mecca, I knew I would never settle there. I came home on college breaks to visit family in the late ’80s, but I always made sure those visits weren’t longer than a few weeks. Growing up as a non-Mormon (“Nons” as my Dad would jokingly call us) was enough exposure to the Mormon culture for a lifetime.
