Timeline
Sheryl Teresa James (born October 7, 1951) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author.
James was born on October 7, 1951, to Reese and Dava James in Detroit, Michigan.
After growing up in the area, she attended Eastern Michigan University, where she received a B.S. in English in 1973.
She married her husband, Eric Vigmostad, in 1974.
They have two children, named Teresa and Kelsey.
In 1979, James got her first job in journalism at City Magazine in Lansing, Michigan. She worked there as a staff writer and editor for three years, before moving to North Carolina after being hired by the Greensboro News and Record in 1982.

James was the recipient of the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing for her series "A Gift Abandoned," which the Pulitzer board called "a compelling series about a mother who abandoned her newborn child and how it affected her life and those of others."
The following year, James was a finalist in the same category for her series "Life From Death," which was described by the Pulitzer board as a "gripping account of the effort to transplant the organs of a dead boy and turn the tragedy of his death into a gift of life for others."
James returned to Michigan in 1991 to work as a staff writer for the Detroit Free Press, where she remained for over a decade.
Since 1999, James has written two books about the history of Michigan, which range in subject matter from a biography of local artist Gwen Frostic to the state's folk heritage.
