About the Author

Caroline Miller was born in Waycross, Georgia, in 1904, and lived in Baxley, Georgia, until 1934. Shortly after graduating from high school, she married William D. Miller, her high school English teacher, and had three children. She began traveling through rural south Georgia, interviewing the people she met and planning a novel; as she had not attended college, her husband taught her about literature. "He was my college," she said. <P>The success of LAMB IN HIS BOSOM and her resulting celebrity after winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1934 made it difficult for her to resume her former life in Baxley. She and her husband divorced, and she moved to Biloxi, Mississippi, and then to Waynesville, North Carolina. She remarried and had two more children. Her second novel, LEBANON, was published in 1944. <P>Caroline Miller died in Waynesville in 1992. Until her death, she wrote everyday, leaving numerous unpublished manuscripts.
