Sonja Livingston's latest book, The Virgin of Prince Street: Expeditions into Devotion, describes a series of journeys that explore tradition within a swiftly changing personal and religious landscape. She divides her time between Rochester, N.Y., and Richmond, Va., where she is an associate professor of English at Virginia Commonwealth University.
