In 1934, she published her first and ultimately only book, the memoir We Sagebrush Folks. The book described her life and struggles as the wife of a farmer. While she praised Idaho and its scenery in the book, she depicted farm life and her community much more harshly, even exclaiming "we lost the farm, thank God" after the foreclosure. It also depicted sex-related stories and tragedies, including that of a woman who died after attempting to induce an abortion with carbolic acid. Her former neighbors responded angrily to the memoir, describing it as "fiction" and suggesting that she would have been forced from town had she not already left. However, the book is now regarded as a significant and accurate depiction of early Idaho settlement.
