Who was Grace Kennedy?

Grace Kennedy was a Scottish writer. She was born at Pinmore in Ayrshire, but at an early age moved to Edinburgh. She wrote novels of a religious tendency which were very popular in their day. By 1920, they were very little read. She is best known as the author of Father Clement, an anti-Roman Catholic novel, which ran through some dozen editions and was translated into most of the languages of Europe. Other books of hers are:

⁕Anna Ross

⁕Dunallan

⁕Jessy Allan

⁕Decision

A collection of her works in six volumes appeared at Edinburgh in 1827, and a German translation of them, Sämmtliche Werke, in Bielefeld in 1838 and another one in 1842.
