About the author

HONORÉ WILLSIE MORROW (February 19, 1880 - April 12, 1940) was an American novelist and magazine editor.
Born Nora Bryant McCue at Ottumwa, Iowa, the daughter of William Dunbar and Lily Bryant Head McCue, her family moved to Madison, Wisconsin, when she was a small child. She graduated from Madison Central High School in 1898 and went on to attend the University of Wisconsin, where she majored in history.
She married Henry Elmer Willsie (1875-1948) and moved to Arizona, where she began her writing career by submitting western stories and articles under the name "Honoré Willsie" to Collier's magazine and Harper's Weekly. Her first novel, "Heart of the Desert: Kut-Le of the Desert," was published in 1913. The following year she began a five-year stint as editor of The Delineator, a women's fashion magazine.
She divorced Willsie in 1922 and remarried a year later to William Morrow, the founder of the New York based publishing house William Morrow and Company. The couple later adopted three children—a son, Richard, and two daughters, Felicia and Anne.
Through ten years of research, she became an authority on the life of Abraham Lincoln and is best known for her "Great Captain" trilogy: "Forever Free" (1927), "With Malice Toward None" (1928) and "The Last Full Measure" (1930). She was also the author of "Benefits Forgot: A Story of Lincoln and Mother Love" (1917), "Forever Free" (1927) and "Mary Todd Lincoln: An Appreciation of the Wife of Abraham Lincoln" (1928).
The Morrows lived several months out every of year in a 16th-century estate in Brixham, a small town in the county of Devon, in southwest England. After her husband passed away in 1931, Honoré and her three children continued to live there full time until 1939.
She died of influenza at the Hospital of St. Raphael in New Haven, Connecticut in 1940 at the age of 60.
