The Rogue Shop

When twenty-year-old Chris Kerry rides a Greyhound from Houston to Salt Lake City for college, he's determined to build his own life—and to keep a solemn promise to his aunt never to become a Mormon. Broke and alone after his wallet is stolen, he lands a job at a struggling formalwear shop full of eccentric characters and befriends two devout LDS neighbors. As office intrigue, buried secrets, and his own guilt collide, Chris confronts questions of faith, forgiveness, and love he never expected to answer.

• A skeptic swears on a Bible he'll NEVER become a Mormon—then moves to Salt Lake City and discovers his parents' secret.
• A quirky ensemble cast in a failing tuxedo shop: the perfect setting for a redemption story full of heart and humor.
• A recovering alcoholic haunted by a deadly accident finally learns what forgiveness really costs—and who can pay it.
• A once-famous seamstress hasn't created a gown in 27 years—until a lonely young man reawakens her gift.

“This is a place of forgotten things. Broken things. It is good to see someone like you, young and whole.”

Perfect for an adult LDS reader who enjoys warm, character-driven conversion stories with humor, clean romance, and emotional payoff—especially those who appreciate a skeptic's honest journey to faith.
