- Summary:
- Fresh out of school in the mid-1960s, author James Work, a non-Mormon, or Gentile as Mormons would say, taught at the College of Southern Utah, located in a small, isolated Mormon town called Cedar City. These humorous narrative essays describe his unexpected encounters there and show how he coped as an outsider. The author has published other works of memoir and poetry.
