About the author
Julia Farr was an early 20th-century novelist whose known works include Venna Hastings: Story of an Eastern Mormon Convert (1919) and The Great Experience (1920). Library and public-domain records consistently link her name to these novels, both of which remain available through major digital archives.
Her fiction is closely tied to Mormon themes, especially conversion, faith, and everyday community life. Rather than being widely documented as a public figure, she is known mainly through the books themselves and the bibliographic trail they left behind.
Because reliable biographical information about her appears to be scarce, only a small picture of her life can be confirmed from easily available sources. What stands out most is the work: novels that preserve a particular religious and cultural world from the early 1900s.
