After a post-conversion hiatus, Price felt led to accept a job as writer and director for Unshackled!, a radio drama sponsored by the Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago. The radio show was first broadcast on WGN (AM). In 1953, Price published the book Discoveries Made From Living My New Life, which launched her career as an inspirational novelist.
