I grew up in a conservative Mormon home in the orange grove suburbs of Cold War southern California. Now, I’m an award winning writer and scholar of religion and spirituality.

News and events

  • I’m proud to be a new permablogger at Religion Dispatches, a daily online magazine dedicating to broadening and advancing public conversation on religion.  I’ll be covering Mormonism, women and religion, and American religious history.  Have a tip?  Contact me.
  • The mailbag is open at Ask Mormon Girl, your source for unorthodox but friendly perspectives on Mormon thought and culture.  Have a question ?  Write askmormongirl at gmail.com, and check in every Monday here or every Monday afternoon at Mormon Matters.
  • Listen to this wonderful coverage of the March 2010 Our Voices, Our Visions: Mormon Women Writers Tour, featuring a dozen Mormon women writers from across the United States and Canada at universities from Southern California to Salt Lake City, thinking out loud about what it means to be a Mormon woman in the twenty-first century. Our thanks to Jennifer Napier-Pearce of NPR-affiliate KUER in Salt Lake City.
