Sunflowers After the Storm: Turning Their Mother's Tragic Death Into Hope & Light - Jessie Lake and Molly Johnson's Story

What do you do when your mother’s voice is silenced—but her words refuse to be forgotten?

In this week’s episode of Latter-Day Lights, we sit down with sisters Jessie Lake and Molly Johnson, whose mother was tragically killed as a result of domestic violence.

Years later, while unpacking old boxes, they uncovered something extraordinary—eight beautifully written children’s stories she had finished before she died. What began as heartbreak has now become a mission to publish her work, share her light, and help other families heal.

Their story isn’t just about loss—it’s about courage, faith, and finding purpose in the unthinkable. You’ll hear how these two women turned silence into strength, grief into growth, and pain into a platform for awareness and hope.

It’s one of the most powerful conversations we’ve ever had—and by the end, you’ll see that sometimes, the light we lose is the same light that guides us home.
