Many of her novels werehistorical fiction, such asGod’s Puppets: A Story of Old New York (1901), set in New York City around 1750 and inspired by the story of a Dutch minister who left his pulpit.[2]God's Puppets was published in England asThe Domine's Garden.[3] She also wrote works for children, includingWill Shakespeare’s Little Lad (1897), a fictionalized story of the life ofHamnet Shakespeare, son ofWilliam Shakespeare.[2]
She said "I care most about the human interest and the story. I am tired of the modern novel that deals with problems, or motor cars, or trusts. I want to write about people whom one meets in real life and have real joys and real sorrows."[2]
