Edith Harper Lavell (1892-?) wrote the Mary Louise Gay series (3 books); the first of which is The Mystery of Dark Cedars, based around President Roosevelt's order to prevent the hoarding of gold during the Depression. Lavell authored two more famous series, the Linda Carlton series (5 books), about a girl pilot, and the Girl Scouts series (10 books). Unlike many series authors, Edith Lavell was an actual person, not a house name.

Synopsis Tallgrass by : Sandra Dallas

An essential American novel from Sandra Dallas, an unparalleled writer of our history, and our deepest emotions... During World War II, a family finds life turned upside down when the government opens a Japanese internment camp in their small Colorado town. After a young girl is murdered, all eyes (and suspicions) turn to the newcomers, the interlopers, the strangers. This is Tallgrass as Rennie Stroud has never seen it before. She has just turned thirteen and, until this time, life has pretty much been what her father told her it should be: predictable and fair. But now the winds of change are coming and, with them, a shift in her perspective. And Rennie will discover secrets that can destroy even the most sacred things. Part thriller, part historical novel, Tallgrass is a riveting exploration of the darkest--and best--parts of the human heart.
