THE WRITER:
ELIZABETH SEIFERT
Elizabeth Seifert has written a score of novels, most of them about doctors and their problems - professional, social and domestic. She wanted to study medicine, but was thwarted by poor health and family disapproval. She did, however, manage to take courses in anatomy, physiology and medical dietetics while in college, and later was employed as a clinical secretary in a hospital. From her hospital career come the realism and understanding which distinguish her books. In private life she was the mother of four children and grandmother of three. Her husband, a hero of World War I, was a gallant member of that gallant wheel chair brigade about which she wrote with especial feeling in an earlier book.
