Redemption for the dead taps into the deepest purposes of creation and the atonement. It encompasses individuals’ development, the purpose of existence, and the grand scope of God’s love. Revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants illuminate Malachi’s prophecy about Elijah and the turning of humanity’s hearts to one another. Those revelations combined with the lived experience of early Latter-day Saints highlight the joy embedded in the theology about baptisms for the dead. Exploring these early revelations and experiences reminds readers of God’s abundant love and careful attention.

As May settles into family life, she has so much to be grateful for. Yes, there are plenty of challenges as she continues to heal from the demons of her past, but her loving husband and sweet children are the greatest earthly gift she could ask for.

Perhaps the relatives who once turned her away had had a change of heart and would be willing to take her in or help her get settled on her own.

It was the early 1900s when Obadiah (Oba) and Merriweather's (May's) parents died tragically, leaving them orphans at ten and eleven years old. When none of their nearby relations volunteer to take them in, they are set on a train to Arkansas to go live on their Amish aunt and uncle's cotton farm. Once there, it didn't take long to discover they would be treated cruelly, no matter what they did. May, always anxious to be a godly young lady, took on more and more responsibility, trying desperately to keep the peace and convince her older brother not to run away.
