Alice Marland Wellington Rollins was the daughter of Ambrose and Lucy Jane (Kent) Wellington, was born in Boston. Her father, a descendant of colonial New Englanders, was a graduate of Harvard College and a lawyer; her mother was the daughter of Colonel William Kent, a member of the New Hampshire legislature.
Alice was taught at home by her father until she was fourteen, when she was sent to the Everett School in Boston and later to Lasell Seminary. A year abroad completed her formal education.
Because of her husband's business relations, she traveled much in South America and Europe, and for a time lived in Brazil. She began writing shortly after her school days were over. She was long a reviewer for the Critic, and contributed to almost all the leading periodicals of the day, including those for children and young people. Her first published book was My Welcome Beyond and Other Poems (1877), followed in 1878 by another volume of verse, The Ring of Amethyst. She next wrote several books for children, among them, The Story of a Ranch (1885), All Sorts of Children (1886), and The Three Tetons: A Story of the Yellowstone (1887). Her novel, Uncle Tom's Tenement (1888), based on New York tenement life, was an outgrowth of her essays on the subject and was credited with some reform influence. In 1889 she published another volume of verse, From Snow to Sunshine. In From Palm to Glacier (1892) she related her experiences in Brazil, Bermuda, and Alaska. Two later volumes, Aphorisms for the Year (1894) and Unfamiliar Quotations (1895) are compilations. Her more mature poetic work is represented by The Story of Azron (1895), while Little Page Fern and Other Verses (1895) and The Finding of the Gentian (1895) are respectively books of verse and stories for children. Her verse is without especial distinction of idea or phrase, introspective, sad without being morbid, and often inspired by love of nature. Her prose is smooth, well phrased, and shows some humor and good description. Of all her books, Uncle Tom's Tenement probably received most attention from reviewers and was most read. During her long final illness she was writing a series of stories, of which those completed were published in the Ladies' Home Journal (1897 - 98). Shortly before her death she penned her last poem, "Vita Benefica, " which was published in the Century Magazine (February 1898).
