Which are the Mormonism retold as fantasy books? I've read the first three Ender books and a few of his short stories. And, yes, I plan to read them. I frequently engage with Mormon elders and managed to convert one to atheism. It helps to understand the worldview.

Are you thinking of the Alvin Maker books?

The Tales of Alvin Maker. IIRC I lost it when the protagonist turned a black person white.
