Early in Price's writing career she was a well-known author of many Christian books. While on St. Simons Island she wandered through Christ Church cemetery where she found the graves of Anson Dodge his wives Ellen and Anna and his child. She wanted to take her writing in a different direction and the graves inspired her to write biographies about average people who only impacted those around them. The result was "Beloved Invader" the post Civil War story of the Reverend Anson Dodge. This first book about St. Simons Island where she spent time in a cottage researching the Island families created a new genre. She followed with "Lighthouse" and "New Moon Rising" which went back in time from the Civil War.--Wikipedia ; FINE/G <br/> <br/> J.B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia, PA, USA, ©1969 hardcover
