- Margaret Widdemer was born in Doylestown, Pennsylvania and grew up in Asbury Park, New Jersey. She graduated from the Drexel Institute Library School in 1909. She began to write as a child and first came to public attention with her collection of poems The Factories, with Other Lyrics (1915), which addressed the issues of child labor and labor abuses. In 1919, she married Robert Haven Schauffler, a cellist and author. Her other published collections of poetry included The Old Road to Paradise (1918), which shared the 1919 Columbia University Prize -- now known as the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry -- with Carl Sandburg’s Cornhuskers. She also wrote essays, reviews, short stories, children's fiction, and more than 30 novels for adult readers. Her memoirs Golden Friends I Had (1964) and Summers at the Colony (1964) describe her friendships with other writers such as Ezra Pound, F. Scott Fitzgerald, T.S. Eliot, Thornton Wilder, and Edna St. Vincent Millay. She served as vice president of the Poetry Society of America and appeared on NBC Radio in a series of talks called "Do You Want to Write?"

A young woman named Phyllis, who is quite on her own, works in a library. She's grateful for the job, and it's a pretty decent job, but she still feels the daily grind and regrets that her future seems to stretch, unending, with no change or rest in sight. In a moment of dissatisfaction, she wishes for a rose-garden, a husband, and enough money. It's not so much that she's thinking about being in love, it's just that in her world, a husband seems the only way for a poor working class girl to get the rose-garden and the money.
And, voila! All of the above are suddenly within reach, and what happens from there on out makes for a splendid, touching story. She's a great character, and so are the DeGuenthers (the agents of her sudden good fortune), and so is Allan. You can guess who Allan is.… (plus d'informations)
