Who was Helen Bevington?

Helen Smith Bevington was an American poet, prose author, and educator. Her most noted book, Charley Smith's Girl, was a runner-up for a Pulitzer Prize and it was "banned by the library in the small town of Worcester, N.Y., where she grew up, because the book tells of her minister father's having been divorced by her mother for affairs that he was carrying on with younger female parishioners."
