HER dad Stephen Morgan named his daughter after himself, Stephenie, and she herself took her husband’s name. But regardless, Stephenie Meyer hails from Wageningen, the Netherlands.
Grandpa Helmert van Wagenen from Wageningen married grandma Polly from Houten; he was a farmer, she weaved cloth. And generations later, Stephenie became one of the world’s most successful writers. Her “Twilight” books sold more than 160 million copies in 37 languages.
She would be genuinely interested in Wageningen’s Grote Kerk; Stephenie is a devout Mormon woman. That’s how she kept the faith even after the first 15 publishers said no to her first book.
