About the author
Mittie Frances Clarke Point was born in Doswell, Virginia, on April 30, 1850. She later adopted the name Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller, taken from her second husband, Alexander McVeigh Miller. Her early writing appeared in Richmond newspapers, and her first novel was Rosamond.
Her breakthrough came with the 1883 romance The Bride of the Tomb. Over a career spanning roughly five decades, she wrote about 80 popular novels, along with poems and short stories. Her fiction often centered on love, marriage, social expectations, and the challenges faced by women, making her a widely read author of nineteenth-century popular literature.
Miller lived for many years in Alderson, West Virginia, where she and her husband built the home known as The Cedars. She later moved with her daughter to Boston and died in Florida on December 26, 1937. Her home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
