Simeon Solution chronicles Poelman’s Mormon conversion
Anne Osborn Poelman writes of a scientist physician who becomes a Mormon convert at 20s and marries Elder Ronald Peelman in 1982. The Simeon Solution frames faith over intellect and describes her life as a single woman who joined the church’s mainstream, with emphasis on spiritual odyssey and female voice within a male-dominated faith.
