About the author
Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Kate Trimble Sharber is listed in library and public-domain catalog records as having been born in 1883. Biographical notes available on major reader and book sites say she was the daughter of Joseph Addison Trimble and Mary Davis Trimble, attended private schools in Alabama, and later married Dr. A. Leslie Sharber.
Sharber is best known today for early 20th-century fiction such as The Annals of Ann (1910), At the Age of Eve (1911), and Amazing Grace, Who Proves That Virtue Has Its Silver Lining (1914). Her books remain accessible through public-domain projects, which has helped new readers discover her bright, character-centered storytelling.
The same biographical sources describe her as a supporter of the women's suffrage movement and note memberships in groups including the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Women's Tennessee Press, and the Authors' Club. I found conflicting birth-year information in secondary sources, so the details above stick to what could be confirmed most consistently from library and author records.
