latter days, The
Book Description
At twenty-two, Judith Freeman found herself at a crossroads that would define the rest of her life. Working in a department store, living with her parents, caring for a young son recovering from heart surgery, and navigating divorce, she was simultaneously abandoning the Mormon faith that had shaped her entire world and pursuing an unlikely dream of becoming a writer.
In this deeply personal memoir, Freeman examines the complex journey from childhood faith to adult questioning, from belonging to a tight-knit religious community to forging an independent path. She offers readers an intimate window into Mormon culture and tradition while exploring the universal themes of identity, memory, and transformation that resonate far beyond any single faith tradition.
The Latter Days traces how we construct and reconstruct our understanding of ourselves over time, revealing how present circumstances continually reshape our interpretation of the past. Freeman's lyrical prose illuminates the challenging process of leaving behind familiar structures and beliefs to create authentic meaning in life.
This memoir speaks to anyone who has questioned inherited beliefs, struggled with family expectations, or sought to understand how personal history shapes present identity. Through one woman's honest examination of faith, family, and self-discovery, Freeman creates a compelling portrait of human resilience and the ongoing work of becoming who we are meant to be.
