Young Wilford Woodruff's search for the true Church emphasizes four essential things the world had lost because of the Great Apostasy. The narrative passes quickly through different events in Woodruff's life from his boyhood to his union with the LDS Church. Highlighted is his relationship with Robert Mason, who told young Wilford of a vision representing the true church of God; Mason would see "the fruit" but not taste of it, yet Woodruff would both see and taste.
