Commentary: Female scholar’s memoir tackles cancer, parenting, and ‘the problem we want to have’ in today’s ‘small and weird’ LDS Church

At church this week I read out loud from a new memoir by Melissa Inouye, which was just co-published by Deseret Book and the Maxwell Institute at Brigham Young University.

I was teaching a Relief Society lesson on Sharon Eubank’s beautiful conference talk “Christ: The Light That Shines in Darkness” and felt compelled to share some of the wisdom from this new book, which deals with Latter-day Saints’ doubts and heritage through the lens of Inouye’s own remarkable life. I have a feeling I will be referring people to this book quite a lot in the coming years.
