Born in Brewster, Massachusetts, Lincoln drew inspiration from his New England roots, crafting narratives abundant with humor and a keen sense of place. Lincoln's writing career spanned over four decades, in which he authored numerous books, with 'Keziah Coffin' being a prime example. Published in 1908, this novel is a testament to his ability to weave a compelling story around the character of Keziah, a resolute and resourceful woman who navigates the complexities of her community's values and economic challenges.
