Episode 10
If you’ve ever seen Salt Lake City’s Church History Library, Provo’s new Missionary Training Center, or many of the modern temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you’ve likely appreciated the beauty of these structures. What you may not know is that these iconic buildings were designed by a transgender woman. In this episode, Signature Books Director Barbara Jones Brown talks with the church’s former chief architect–and former stake president–Laurie Lee Hall about her forthcoming memoir from Signature. Hall hopes her story will foster greater understanding of the transgender experience while increasing hope and joy in the lives of Queer individuals and those who love them.
