In the 1940s Virginia Sorensen was a New York Times bestselling author-of Mormon novels. In the 1950s she won a Newbery Medal, the highest honour in childrens literature. But today, hardly anyone knows her name. Who is Virginia Sorensen? How did a girl who grew up in a tiny Utah town in the 1920s become a globetrotting, award-winning author? And why has she been forgotten? Though she wrote them four generations ago, Sorensens novels are more urgent today than ever, addressing issues both Mormons and former Mormons grapple with. This book explores a treasure trove of insight, compassion and storytelling waiting to be rediscovered.
