Award-winning historical novelist Ann Weisgarber will sign copies of her newest book, The Glovemaker. The event is co-sponsored by the Friends of the Sugar Land Branch Library, which will be selling Weisgarber’s book. All proceeds benefit the library.

Set in the inhospitable Utah backlands in the winter in 1888, The Glovemaker makes effective use of early Mormon history. Deborah Tyler is a young frontier woman forced to make a split-second decision that could shatter her family and her entire fragile community – or redeem them all. She struggles to hold her faith in the face of religious persecution and her fear of the law.

Tension-filled and suspenseful, The Glovemaker is a beautifully written novel of moral complexity and the dilemmas of having to choose between loyalty and love, courage and conscience.
