Today she is best known for her nature writing and regional works set along the coast of Maine. At nineteen, Jewett had a short story published in The Atlantic. She is the author of Deephaven (1877), Old Friends and New (1879), Country By-Ways (1881), A White Heron and Other Stories (1886), and A Native of Winby and Other Tales (1893).

For most of her adult life, Jewett lived with her close friend, Annie Adams Field, in what was then termed a “Boston marriage.”
