We Hold Your Name: Mormon Women Bless Mormons Facing Exile - Softcover

"Reading -- or better said ingesting -- this collection of earnest, discerning, and often plaintive offerings is a balm to the soul and a buoy to the heart. It reconnects me -- on a visceral level -- to the warm-hearted sense of belongingness found in the best moments of a faith community."--Kendall Wilcox, Producer and Editor at OUT in ZION podcast

"By weaving together two traditional aspects of Mormon women's history--poetry and blessings--this book ties a modern community of Mormon feminists to the earliest sister-saints. The authors unapologetically claim their spiritual power and their link to the divine feminine, creating a space for those who may not always feel welcome in their faith. Taken as a whole, "We Hold Your Name" stands as a marker of the myriad ways women heal one another."-- Margaret Olsen Hemming, Editor of Exponent II Magazine
