From the outside she had a typical Mormon life. Inside she was coming apart at the seams.From childhood she battled The Questions-obsessive-compulsive disorder though she didnt have a diagnosis for it until much later-and lived inside a complex maze of anxiety and fear. This was compounded by Mormonisms emphasis on worthiness a designation of acceptability in Mormon practice that brought her to the edge of despair as a young mother.Then almost by accident she had an encounter with the grace of Jesus Christ-and her world changed.In candid but not sensationalized ways Langston explores little-understood Mormon practices and teachings while grappling with universal human questions such as the nature of faith the complexity of family the process of healing and what it means to truly belong.This book is intended to be a bridge-builder a way to help non-Mormons understand Mormonism and Mormons orthodox Christianity through the power of personal narrative. Most of all it is a testimony of Jesus Christ in the hopes that those who read it-Mormon Christian or neither-will catch a glimpse of the spectacular life-changing grace of God.
