A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS
Publisher: Signature Books Salt Lake City, UT 1997. New Paperback Brand new softcover book! Never been read! ; When A Little Lower than the Angels appeared in 1942, its author and recent Brigham Young University graduate Virginia Sorensen was overwhelmed by the positive national attention. Clifton Fadiman, writing for The New Yorker, noted how "convincingly [she] explores . The tragic, comic, and grotesque problems of plural marriage. " Set in Nauvoo, Illinois, she tells the story of a single family, a woman and her Mormon husband, loosely based on her in-laws' family history from the period and augmented by on-site research. The novel preceeded the first scholarly treatment of Nauvoo by three years. As an outsider, Sorensen's protagonist is puzzled by the city's mysteries. Gradually, however, she discovers that a neighbor's obsession with the LDS prophet is due to her polygamous marriage to him. Even so, Mercy Baker cannot foresee the complications that her own baptism will bring. ; Signature Mormon Classics Series No. 1 Series; 6" x 9"; 468 pages

WHERE NOTHING IS LONG AGO - Memories of a Mormon Childhood
Publisher: Signature Books Salt Lake City, UT. New Paperback Brand new softcover book! Never been read! ; The stories of Where Nothing Is Long Ago are a celebration of Sorensen's childhood. She wrote most of them in 1962 while she stayed eight months with her father in Springville, Utah, after her sister's death. (The title story and "The Face" had been published earlier in The New Yorker. ) The narrator of each story is an adult remembering her experiences as a child and narrating events from the child's perspective, so the stories are often about the child's attempt to understand the values of her community. Several stories center on the community's response to an individual who is in some way an outsider—a polygamous wife who has been left alone after the 1890 Manifesto ostensibly banned such marriages; a black family from Tennessee, directed to Manti by one of the town's missionaries; a woman whose husband has fallen away from the faith—and the child's observations of the behavior of town members towards this outsider. Why, for example, are members of the community more sympathetic to the man who killed Lena's husband than they are to Lena? Why do they so distrust "the Negro"? Why is "the darling lady" all alone in her little store? Why doesn't she have a family? Other stories are stories of initiation—sometimes into the pleasures and pains of growing up, but other times into the adult knowledge of death and loss and destructive human behavior. In her Newbery Award acceptance speech, Sorensen says, "[A] story has its own being and . If one tells it true, and to the very end, there is always death in it. "Some of these stories will be enthralling to children as well as to adult readers—"First Love, " "The White Horse, " "The Vision of Uncle Lars, " and "The Secret Summer. " But many depend on the reader's ability to recognize the ironic distance between the child's perception and the meaning of the incidents to the narrator or to the adult characters. Virginia Sorensen is a masterful storyteller. Her mother said that the first sentence she remembered Virginia saying was "Tell me a story, " and the second was, "I will tell you a story, " which Virginia proceeded to do. She spent a lifetime telling stories, many of which she offered to her Mormon community as their own. She once said, "I suppose I get more pleasure out of being noticed by the Mormons than by anybody else. "; Signature Mormon Classics Series No. 4 Series; 6" x 9"; 220 pages

The Evening and the Morning
Publisher: Signature Books 1999. New Softcover Brand new softcover book! ; Where polite society weighs heavily against extramarital dalliances, why do some people insist on acting against their own best interests? Ah, the complexity of the human heart! Virginia Sorensen seems to be saying in this dark novel about a 1940s Utah housewife, Kate, and a young violin maker, Peter, a man who elicits from her the first shock of overpowering attractions. Considering the circumstances of Kate's rural life, her marriage to an older man, and the trouble she has raising two stepchildren, readers may forgive her errant desires. Yet her husband has been good to her, and the new object of her eye has a devoted wife and a handicapped son. So, why should these two decent, if all-too-human, people be struck by this other side of human passion? Ultimately, Kate decides to abandon her Utah home and her adopted family rather than risk disruption to Peter's household. However, decades later she realizes her error and embarks on a pilgrimage back home to see her Peter once more, to determine finally what meaning this romantic interlude held for her. ; Signature Mormon Classics Series, No 5 Series; 0.9 x 8.5 x 5.4 Inches; 350 pages; Where polite society weighs heavily against extramarital dalliances, why do some people insist on acting against their own best interests?
