"Venna Hastings: Story of an Eastern Mormon Convert" by Julia Farr is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers on the life of Venna Hastings, a young girl navigating her identity in the context of her family's religious beliefs and her burgeoning talent as a violinist. As she interacts with various characters and grapples with complex themes of faith and influence, the story explores the contrast between the challenges of Eastern religious skepticism and the fervor of Mormon converts. At the start of the novel, Venna is introduced as a vibrant and ambitious fourteen-year-old who is passionate about her music but unsure of her personal beliefs. Her interactions with her music professor and her aunt reveal her youthful self-confidence, as well as hints of her longing for a deeper connection to her deceased mother. As the narrative progresses, the groundwork is laid for her eventual exploration of religious identity, particularly in the context of Eastern attitudes towards Mormonism and her friendships. Venna's innocence clashes with the realities of adult expectations, setting the stage for her journey through personal trials and societal pressures.
