The Quest of Happy Hearts
by Kathleen Hay
About the author
Available sources suggest she was an early 20th-century writer of religious and children's fiction. Her known books include The Quest of Happy Hearts and The Sweetest Story Told, and booksellers also list titles such as Golden Links, Consider the Lilies, and The Light in the Old Garden.
The surviving record is fairly sparse, but her work appears closely tied to Christian publishing and devotional reading for younger audiences. The Sweetest Story Told was published in 1931 by Augustana Book Concern, and archival author pages connect her with the Herald of Holiness from February 4, 1931.
Because biographical information about her is limited online, much of her legacy now comes through the books themselves. That gives her profile a quiet, almost rediscovered quality: a writer whose gentle, values-driven stories continue to circulate long after their first publication.
