My name is Jane Starwood. My spiritual autobiography, Memoirs of a Prodigal Daughter, which is published on this website for free, is the story of how and why I left the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at age 19 and returned at age 74, fully re-committed to serving the Lord and his people.

Like many Saints, I had doubts about the Church. I know I could have weathered them if I’d nourished my testimony, but instead, I let my testimony wither away until I was fully immersed in that “great and spacious building” that represents the world, and there I stayed for 55 years.

I wrote this book for people like myself, who let their doubts pull them into the world and are wondering if there’s a way back, even through their continuing doubts. It’s also for Latter-day Saints whose loved ones have left the Church, or whose own testimony is wavering.

I testify that there is a way back, even if you still have doubts, and that you and your loved ones might find the way, even after half a century. You can come home.
