That novel established her as a prominent Appalachian novelist. She returned to West Virginia and got her first novel, set in England, published in 1938 followed by Storming Heaven, a novel of the West Virginia mine wars of the 1920s, published in 1987.

After graduating from West Virginia Wesleyan, she returned to Charleston and got involved in the Textbook Controversy. When she was 12, the company bulldozed the town and left.
