Between Monsters and Mercy

From a happy Latter-day Saint childhood, Kelly Thompson's life unravels under a relentless shaming inner voice she calls The Whisperer. Family collapse, sexual trauma, and twenty-eight years of addiction lead her to homelessness and prostitution on the streets of Salt Lake City. After a heavenly visit from her deceased father and a series of divine interventions, she surrenders to God. This unflinching memoir testifies that no one is beyond the reach of Christ's mercy and that recovery is possible even from the deepest darkness.

• A gripping, unflinching true story of a Latter-day Saint woman's fall into heroin addiction and prostitution—and her miraculous journey home.
• The person God sends to rescue her from her darkest hour is the very man who first betrayed her twenty-five years earlier.
• Written by someone who lived it: unique insight into the inner workings of an addict's mind and the reality of demonic torment.
• Testifies that the Atonement doesn't just erase our past—it transforms our weaknesses into strengths and our wounds into a ministry.

“A place lies between monsters and mercy. Between the darkest of night and the day.”

Perfect for an adult—Latter-day Saint or not—who has struggled with addiction or mental illness, or who loves someone who has, and needs to believe recovery and redemption are possible.
