This is Wikipedia's article on Doreen Virtue, the American author, recording her 1958 birth year, her education, her career publishing New Age and angel-themed books and oracle decks, and her public 2017 renunciation of that earlier body of work following her conversion to evangelical Christianity. Its strength is that Wikipedia articles on figures with substantial public documentation are generally reliable for standard biographical facts of exactly this kind, dates, career milestones and well reported public statements. Its limit is structural: it is a perpetually community-edited reference rather than a peer reviewed publication, so it is the right source for biographical detail but not for a contested characterization of Virtue's earlier work's content or claims, which needs the works themselves or independent critical commentary on them rather than this encyclopedia entry.
