Ethel Hueston was an American author. She was the author of Prudence of the Parsonage (1915), Prudence Says So (1916), Sunny Slopes (1917), Eve to the Rescue (1920), Merry O (1923), Prudence's Daughter (1924) and Preacher's Wife (1941). Prudence of the Parsonage is the story of a young woman's experiences living in the Methodist parsonage in Mount Mark, Iowa. Her father has been appointed minister and Prudence, whose mother passed away five years before, is in charge of the house and her four younger sisters. This is the story of Hueston's own experiences living in a parsonage in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa and is the prequel to Prudence Says So.
