When she came home from college
by Marian Hurd McNeely, Jean Bingham Wilson
About the author
Very little biographical information about this author appears to be readily available in reliable online sources. Jean Bingham Wilson is credited as the co-author of When She Came Home from College, a novel published in 1909 with Marian Hurd McNeely.
The book follows a recent college graduate returning to her family and hometown, and it has remained accessible through major public-domain archives. That continuing availability has kept Wilson's name in circulation even though basic details about her life and career are hard to confirm.
Because the online record is so thin, it is safest to remember her as an early 20th-century novelist whose surviving reputation rests on this collaboration rather than on a well-documented public biography.
