When Kristen Reber was sent home from her mission after just six months due to a life-threatening parasite, she battled years of feeling like a failure. Drawing on dozens of interviews, scholarly research, and General Authority counsel, she offers a warm, honest guide to the early-return experience. Organized by reason for return—physical health, mental health, worthiness, family troubles, and personal reasons—the book also includes dedicated chapters for Church leaders, parents, and navigating Mormon culture. A reassuring companion for anyone touched by an early homecoming.
- The first book written FOR early-returned missionaries BY someone who lived it
- Addresses a phenomenon affecting thousands of LDS families every year (roughly 6% of all missionaries)
- Grounded in real academic research plus dozens of firsthand interviews
- Directly quotes Elder Holland's beloved counsel to early-returned missionaries
Perfect for a young adult who returned early from an LDS mission and is struggling with feelings of failure, or a parent or bishop trying to support and understand them.
