Green had an early ambition to write romantic verse, and she corresponded with Ralph Waldo Emerson.

She became a bestselling author, eventually publishing about 40 books.

Together they had one daughter and two sons: Rosamund Rohlfs, Roland Rohlfs, and Sterling Rohlfs. Green died on April 11, 1935 in Buffalo, New York, at the age of 88
