About the author
Adele Garrison was the pen name of Nana Belle Springer White (1873–1956), an American writer and journalist. She was born in Wisconsin and worked as a teacher and newspaperwoman before becoming widely known for fiction.
Her signature work was Revelations of a Wife, a newspaper serial that began in 1915 and appeared regularly for many years. Centered on the married life of Madge Graham, it blended romance, suspense, and domestic detail in a way that kept large newspaper audiences coming back day after day.
Although she is less famous now than some of her contemporaries, Garrison was remarkably prolific and helped define a form of popular serialized storytelling that once had a huge place in American daily life.
