Marrying a fellow novelist and farmer she settled in Penrose, Colorado, where she continued writing stories and being active in the suffragette movement.
""A compelling read. Daisy Thomson Gigg creates a voice as alive and open, fresh and engaged as when she sat at the little round table, beneath the red-shaded lamp more than a century ago, writing to her Boy, determined to keep his spirits up and remind him of home. Her Scottish identity resonates in every sentence, her political idealism, compassion and love shine out even on her darkest days. Hers represents a new and unique voice and an important addition to the canon of literature of the First World War."" – Angela K. Smith, author of Women's Writing of the First World War ""Letters of an ordinary woman living in a country town where only a tributary of the broad war-stream flows, to a young brother who came over with the first Canadian contingent to serve in “the war to end war.” They do not aim at being clever nor deep, but are just plain letters—bits of gossip, comments on all manner of subjects, little bits of advice and cheer, and a fair share of humor. A fascinating human document."" – The Herald, from 1917
