Virginia Sorenson

1912-1991

Virginia Sorensen, born in Provo, Utah, embarked on a remarkable writing career that spanned several decades. After pursuing studies in journalism at Brigham Young University and the University of Missouri, she ventured into writing novels, children's books, and memoirs. Sorensen's work garnered recognition and grants, including Guggenheim Fellowships, allowing her to conduct research in Mexico and Denmark. Her marriage to writer Alec Waugh in the late 1960s led to a period of international travel and residence in Tangier, Morocco. After Waugh's passing, Sorensen settled in Hendersonville, North Carolina until her death in 1991, leaving behind a literary legacy that included notable works like A Little Lower Than the Angels and On This Star, which was adapted into a television movie titled A Loss of Innocence in 1996.
