Synopsis: Utah, 1888. Mormon country. As Sister Deborah awaits her husband's long-anticipated return home, a stranger arrives at her doorstep, and with him, trouble.Although this man is a fellow Latter-day Saint, he wouldn't be here in the bitter month of January if he wren't on th run from sotmething terrible. And where he goes, lawmen are sure to follow. Lawmen who wouldl think twice about burning Deborah's home to the ground if they thought she'd helped their fugitive.
With her husband's absence felt more strongly by the minute, Deborah must make a decision. A decision that will change her life forever.
Review: I had to contemplate why I liked this book as much as I did. It's a slow and steady sort of book, intense at times. I credit the author's storytelling ability for making the characters come alive as the real drive behind this novel. No other author could have done this story justice; the right author at the right time.
If I have one criticism, it's that the title doesn't fit the book. The main character is a glove maker, but that's relevant for about 0.2 seconds of the story.
