Serial version appeared in the Ladies' Home Journal. From the University of Kent website Literature and Place: The novelist and lecturer Phyllis Bottome (1884 -1963) was born at Rochester and lived for a time at Swanscombe, where her father was rector. Thereafter she lived in the United States and the European continent. Her writing career spanned nearly 60 years. She was most widely read in the 1930s and 40s when novels such as 'The Advances of Harriet' (1933), 'Private Worlds' (1934) and 'London Pride' (1941) were written. In 1940 one of her books was made into a successful film, 'The Mortal Storm,' with James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan. She was a friend of the local writer Ralph Arnold, whom she met in Austria. Although her work is now undergoing a critical reassessment, mainly amongst American critics, she is still best known for her ready aphorisms ('there are two ways of meting difficulties: you alter the difficulties or you alter yourself'), many of which appear in 'Inspirational Quotations' collections. .
