After considering several careers, including acting, she discovered her true talent and earning power in writing. Although she aspired to writing serious novels, she soon learned that the demand -- and the money -- lay in the dramatic novels for children, for which she is well known.
The monetary aspects of a career were important to her chiefly
because her father's penury thrust a significant responsibility on her
to support the family.
