Grace Morton: or, The Inheritance. A Catholic Tale

"[I]n one of the interior counties of Pennsylvania," Grace Morton converts to the Roman Catholic Church and moves to a village in Western Pennsylvania to take a teaching position. According to Lina Mainiero's American Women Writers this novel is "one of Meaney's more successful treatments of the conflict between apostasy and constancy."

Mary L. Meaney (c. 1840-unknown), who used M. L. M. as a pseudonym, wrote inspirational religious fiction for American Catholics.
