—KIRKUS REVIEWS 

Betty Lou Dearden has been a member of the Ogden Quilters Association for more than twenty years when it is announced that the biggest quilting competition in the country is coming to Utah. With the clock ticking and a chance to finally beat their long-time rival quilting circle, the women welcome two young gay men to their group as they bicker their way to an award-worthy entry. With disarming humor and extraordinary heart, Eli McCann takes readers deep into the cozy but cutthroat world of competitive quilting and the sometimes-messy friendships that shape our lives.”

About the author: “In his monthly humor column for The Salt Lake Tribune, he writes about growing up with (and leaving behind) the Mormon faith, coming out in adulthood, and parenting a toddler. He co-hosts Strangerville, a storytelling podcast and live show, and his work has been featured in The Washington Post, Newsweek, HuffPost, and the BBC. He lives with his husband and son in Salt Lake City, Utah.”

Join us for a rare Sunday event at the library to hear from the author himself about his new book and all the things that inspired it. 

We will have two copies catalogued for check out asap after the book’s publication date of September 8th as well as a few free copies for those willing to participate in our book club discussion on 9/16 at 6pm prior to his visit. Copies will also be available for sale at the event.
