Grace and her sister Amelia turned to one another for support throughout a childhood made challenging and often unhappy because of the alcoholism of their father, Edwin Earhart. For this reason, Grace and Amelia were very close, bonding through adversity, and this connection between the two sisters would shape Grace Muriel's life for years to come. In the years after the disappearance of her more well-known sister in 1937, Grace would eventually graduate from Radcliffe college, in 1960. She wrote poetry and biographies, and taught high school near where she lived in Medford, Massachusetts. 

With a passion for history and an interest in groundbreaking women as well as social causes, Grace was an active member of both the League of Women Voters and the Daughters of the American Revolution, as her obituary posted at Ninety-Nines relates. She also wrote a biography of her husband Albert's World War I experiences. It's in this passion for storytelling, language, and history, however, that the truth of Amelia Earhart's sister Grace really comes to light. Without Grace, much of what we know about the pioneering aviator might be lost.
