What happens when a High Priest becomes addicted to crack cocaine? Should an unemployed bank teller take in a homeless protester from the Occupy Movement? Who is Salt Lake City's newest superhero, a masked man wearing temple clothes who mysteriously shows up at crime scenes?

Is there a way to splice the empathy gene into the genome of every human? Can a schizophrenic woman on anti-delusional drugs keep her belief in an intangible God? Will a childless biochemist find fulfillment by taking part in a mission to Mars?

Not every Latter-day Saint has a mainstream story to tell, but these soul-searching folks are still more than the marginal Mormons headquarters would like us to believe.

Industry Reviews

Marginal Mormons is "an irreverent, honest look at life outside the mainstream Mormon Church....Throughout his musings on sin and forgiveness, Townsend beautifully demonstrates his characters' internal, perhaps irreconcilable struggles....Rather than anger and disdain, he offers an honest portrayal of people searching for meaning and community in their lives, regardless of their life choices or secrets." Named to Kirkus Reviews' Best of 2012.

Kirkus Reviews

"Johnny Townsend's 'Partying with St. Roch' [in the anthology Latter-Gay Saints, reprinted from Marginal Mormons] tells a beautiful, haunting tale."
