377:. Every novel follows a child who is exposed to a different lifestyle, whether that be determined by race, religion, etc. As the children learn more about the differing worldviews, they are caught in a middle ground, where adults in their lives want them to remain ignorant in other beliefs or lifestyles. To retain the realism, her children protagonists are always ordinary, rather than extraordinary. Because the use of lantern consciousness is more descriptive in nature than narrative, Sorensen uses adults with set worldviews to drive the narrative and conflict. Further, because of this lantern consciousness, Carter claims that Sorensen makes the claim that childhood does not need to die, which is shown typically through one adult who always retains a sense of this lantern consciousness and serves as a guiding light for the children as they learn more.
416:, region where she lived at that time. Virginia Sorensen was a part of Mormonism's "lost generation", a term coined by Edward Geary. These writers left either Utah or Mormonism in order to create critical portrayals of the state and religion. Despite this, these writers portrayed Mormons as characters other than villains that other popular publications portrayed them as. Mormonism thrived because of its isolation, but when Utah received statehood, this pattern of isolation changed. Sorensen lived during this change, and she wrote her novels as a way to deal with the unanswered questions of how the convergence of the world and Mormonism effected people at this time. Her collection of short stories,

The Eriksen family as a whole represents Mormonism because of their close alignment due to their shared heritage, beliefs, and goals. Because Erik no longer lives in the community and traveled across the country to pursue music, he is considered an outsider because he no longer aligns with those goals and beliefs. Despite this deviation, Linda Berlin believes that Erik is the only one to exhibit true Christ-like love because he did things with true desire rather than a sense of duty, like the rest of the Eriksen family did. Sorensen also contrasts blind faith and doubt in

Smith in his essay "Women
Together: Kate Alexander's Search for Self in The Evening and the Morning" wrote that Kate's purpose as a woman ostracized from society allows her to act as a feminist heroic figure to create her own destiny based on love. Smith also discusses the importance of female communities and how that contributes to female self-sufficiency. He writes that "the ritual of community bonding is demonstrated in the process of repentance that Kate undertakes".

In
441:. Sorensen uses moral realism to explore complex themes and characters, which are the highlight of her writing. Her character work is praised by Stephen Carter and seen as one of the strengths of Sorensen's style. She writes complex and relatable characters who are trying to work through life. Sorensen also uses her themes as a backdrop to develop the plot and characters.
221:. Because of this, she wrote from a liminal position between Mormon and mainstream western American life. Of this circumstance, she said of her siblings and herself, "We all felt obliged to be especially good and bright because our parents weren't active church people." From an early age, she wrote poetry and told stories to friends and family.
