Over time, she became deeply committed to its teachings, faithfully doing everything expected of a devout Latter-day Saint: temple worship, leadership callings, obedience to prophetic authority, and unwavering loyalty to the Church's truth claims. Like many lifelong members, she believed that doubt signaled personal failure rather than intellectual or spiritual integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen troubling historical inconsistencies and doctrinal contradictions could no longer be ignored, Tracy began asking questions-first quietly, then openly. What followed was not only a theological unraveling, but a deeply personal cost: strained relationships, institutional pressure, threats of disciplinary action, and the painful realization that leaving Mormonism often means losing one's community, reputation, and sense of belonging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterwoven with personal narrative, documented history, and moments of unexpected humor, the book explores what it means to wake up from a belief system that once defined everything. Tracy chronicles her transition out of Mormonism, the emotional fallout within her family, her struggle to separate Jesus from institutional authority, and her eventual rediscovery of faith rooted not in obedience or performance, but in grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis expanded edition features refined language, improved structure for readability, expanded and standardized citations, and a new appendix addressing recent changes within the LDS Church.
