Join us now on Mormon Stories Podcast for an incredibly powerful story on dealing with tragedy with resilience and grace. Jill and Katie Searle are a mother/daughter pair.

Jill Searle's story includes:

*Being raised LDS and serving a mission.

*Entering into a mixed-orientation marriage as a lesbian woman.

*Having several children.

*Leaving the church, and finding a committed, long term partner (they were married 5 different times...incredible story).

*Allowing and even supporting her children to remain active/faithful LDS as a lesbian, ex-Mormon woman, all while the church was waging war on committed LGBT relationships.

Katie Searle's story includes:

*Being raised Mormon by an orthodox Mormon father and step-mother, and two lesbian ex-Mormon mothers.

*Marrying her husband, Nathan Williams.

*Co-founding with Nathan a globally successful magazine, Kinfolk.

*Facing the excruciating decision to terminate a pregnancy at 6 months.

*Dealing with the discovery that her husband, Nathan, is gay, while pregnant with their second child.

*Deciding with Nathan to end the marriage.

*Coping with a religious faith crisis through all this.

*Rebuilding a life and raising her daughter, Vi, as an ex-Mormon single mother.

This is an amazing story of responding to tragedy with grace and resilience.
