About the author
Grace Miller White (1868–1957) was an American novelist. Public information about her is limited, and the details of her life remain largely unknown to Chinese readers. Four of her works are held in the collection, including The Secret of the Storm Country, From the Valley of the Missing, Rose O'Paradise, and Tess of the Storm Country. These titles suggest that her fiction is often set in remote rural and valley surroundings, centering on characters' fates and hidden pasts, with plots that blend suspense and sentiment and frequently focus on female protagonists. Her works found a readership in early twentieth-century American popular literature, and Tess of the Storm Country was adapted into a silent film, bringing her stories to a wider audience. Overall, she was a plot-driven popular novelist whose writing reflects the reading tastes of her time.
