Gladys Hasty Carroll:
(June 26, 1904 – April 1, 1999).
American novelist active from the late 1920s into the 1980s. In her fiction and non-fiction, Carroll wrote about what she knew and people that she loved, especially those in the Southern Maine rural community of Dunnybrook, located in South Berwick, Maine. Carroll believed that the history of common folk mattered most and her works presented their stories.
Outside the house, it was storming—a busy downfall of flakes that the wind blew lightly across acres of old snow left from December.
