out that she lives with her girlfriend Ruth is fired from her job at New Creations—a craft
store owned by the church that dominates life in Kill Devil. In an act of revenge Ruth
attempts to shoplift some yarn but is caught red-handed. Instead of calling the police the
employees lock her in the store—and attack her. As Ruth fights for her life using only the
crafting supplies at hand she plunges deeper into the tangled web of the New Creationists who
are hiding a terrible secret that threatens not only her but the entire town. Urgent scathing
and utterly original Crafting for Sinners cements Kiefer’s status as a dazzling new star in
