When they were struggling financially, Light a Penny Candle was published, which made her an overnight success. Maeve married Gordon Snell, writer and editor of children's books. After these letters were published, Maeve left teaching and became a journalist.
They were so impressed with these chatty letters from all over the world that they decided to send them to a newspaper. While she was away, she sent letters home to her parents. She liked going to different places, such as a Kibbutz in Israel, and she worked in a camp in the United States. She also loved traveling, and this was how she found her niche as a writer. She studied at University College Dublin and was a teacher for a while. Although she described herself as an overweight child, her parents' attitude gave her the confidence to accept herself for who she was.
Her parents were very positive and provided her with a happy childhood.
