Signature Books Podcast

On Tuesday, May 23, Signature Books held an evening with four authors of our Brief Biography Series. Begun in 2021, this ongoing series has produced four titles with two more coming this year. Each biography offers a brief and enlightening overview into the lives of significant people of the Latter-day Saint tradition. The authors talked about their subjects and their subject's encounters with each other and each other’s history. Those on the panel were Gary Topping, author of D. Michael Quinn: Mormon Historian; Constance L. Lieber, author of Dr. Martha Hughes Cannon: Suffragist, Senator, Plural Wife; Stephen Carter, author of Virginia Sorensen: Pioneering Mormon Author; and Kenneth L. Cannon II, author of the forthcoming George Q. Cannon: Politician, Publisher, Apostle of Polygamy. A short paper by Newell Bringhurst on his book, Harold B. Lee: Life and Thought, read by Gary Bergera, was also included.
