	Mormon Stereotypes in Popular Fiction
		Latter-day Saints are not now as popular a subject as they once were for non-Mormon authors, and writers' interest in modern Mormons as Mormons is vastly different from what it was a hundred years ago.
		Each is used to describe the Mormons of the past in Westerns and historical romances, the Mormons of the present in detective fiction and true-crime literature, and the Mormons of the future in science-fiction novels and other forms of speculative fiction.
		Contemporary historical fiction presents a number of distinct variations on this common theme of a young Mormon woman held hostage--either physically or ideologically--by representatives of the Mormon Church.

		Works of fiction aren't only efforts to experience this vicariously; they are also "symbolic" models and guides for how we might approach our own lives.
		The stories of fiction and nonfiction thus contain within them the potential to be catalysts for human freedom.
