Miriam Gaines

Miriam Gaines is a little-documented author whose name is most closely linked with Grandfather's Love Pie. That work is listed by Project Gutenberg and also appears through modern booksellers and reader catalogs, suggesting that it has continued to circulate long after its original publication.

Because reliable biographical information about Gaines is scarce in the sources available here, it is hard to say much with confidence about her life beyond her authorship of that book. What does come through clearly is the lasting appeal of her warm, family-centered storytelling, which has helped keep her work in print and discoverable for new generations.
