Steeped as much in its religious roots as in its identity as a mountain playground, the Wasatch Front is home to an increasing diversity of voices. A collection of essays - "Utah Reflections: Stories from the Wasatch Front" - captures a few voices from this place, with authors and poets drawing on geography and culture to give a glimpse of life in urban Utah. 

On Friday at 12:15 p.m., Tribune reporter Kathy Stephenson and columnist Ann Cannon join Jennifer Napier-Pearce to discuss how water, snow and other elements shape life along the Wasatch Front during the Tribune's monthly book club, Utah Lit.
