Charleston by John Jakes
In these Mormon short stories, a missionary in Italy makes a break for freedom on Christmas. Mormons create a theocracy in America and rename the country Zion. A conflicted father wonders how to deal with a transgender son who wants to be his daughter. Parents hire men to pose as the Three Nephites to teach their children the Book of Mormon is true. Ex-Mormons unwelcome at home for Christmas band together for their own holiday celebration.
