About the Author

Kathleen Norris (1880-1966) was an American novelist and early feminist.  Her romantic novels, many set in California among upper-class families, were popular and critical successes—earning her the ranking of highest-paid female author of her time.  Among her best-known works are Certain People of Importance (1922) and Beauty's Daughter (1935), the latter of which, like a number of her books, was made into a film.
