The Secret of the Storm Country Grace Miller White

The Secret of the Storm Country (The sequel to Tess of the Storm Country) is a novel by Grace Miller White, the American authoress born Mary Esther Miller. She lived her whole life in Ithaca, New York. She adopted the name Grace around 1897, in memory of a younger sister who had died before reaching her first birthday. She married twice, first to Homer White, and then to Friend H. Miller.

She began her writing career novelizing plays, before turning her hand to novels in 1909. Several of her books were adapted for the big screen, most notably Tess of the Storm Country, which has been filmed on four separate occasions between 1914 and 1960. (wikipedia.org)
