Summary
Julie was raised in the church.
At a young age she was the victim of sexual abuse.
After her father and grandfather were arrested for abuse, she had to deal with the repercussions of everyone she knew treating her different because of the situation, including ward members.
She struggled finding places to live, and eventually enlisted in the army.
She met a man that became her husband, and they started taking missionary discussions together and he was baptized.
Later she found out things were not what they seemed to be in her marriage, and it ended in divorce.
Julie came back to Utah and found love and hope in new friends.
She witnessed miracles that pushed her back to the gospel.
Today, Julie's love for the gospel & the peace that radiates through her life, is evident.
