"After both her parents when she was very young, the author was cared for by her grandmother and grew up on a large country estate in Northern Ireland. In these reminiscences Mrs. Peat gives us a vivid portrait of the person who formed the vital center of her existence, the dominant figure who was as versatile in her talents and abilities as she was deliberate and confirmed in her ways. For grandma was a positive, unforgettable personality whose brisk vigor, kindliness, determination, and warmth affected whoever came under her influence; and grandma was a busy woman: mistress of an estate, manager of a household, defender of the faith, keeper of the peace, and responsible for the behavior and manners of three boisterous grandchildren." [from the dust jacket] Louisa Watson Small Peat (1883 - 1953) was an Irish- born writer and lecturer. In the late 1920s or 1930s Louisa Peat settled in Michigan City, Indiana, where she worked for the women's section of the Michigan City News-Dispatch. In the 1930s or early 1940s Peat moved to New York City to continue her writing career. During that time she was editing and ghost writing for various authors including Sydney Robert Montague and Fulton Oursler. She died in Hyannisport, MA, in 1953.
