A collection of stories from the New Yorker comprised her first book, "The Finer Things of Life", which was published in 1951.
The book received praise from critics.
Marge Lyon wrote in the "Chicago Sunday Tribune" that the stories were "whimsical in spots, faintly poignant in others, but lit with a glowing, humorous aura made up of bright observations, sparkles of wit, and diamond bright philosophy, shot with incandescent characterizations."
Patton published "Good Morning Miss Dove" in 1954 which became a bestseller.
The book, which tells the story of a beloved geography teacher in a small town, originated from an earlier story Patton wrote titled "The Terrible Miss Dove."
Charles Poore wrote in the "New York Times" that the novel was "ruthlessly sentimental" and "a cheerful mixture of "Goodbye Mr. Chips" and "Mary Poppins", with touches of the rigorous way to salvation from "Life With Father
The book was featured as a Book of the Month Club selection and made into a successful 1955 film starring Jennifer Jones in the title role.
Patton published another short story collection in 1959 titled "A Piece of Luck" and a final collection in 1969 titled "28 Stories."
In addition to writing, she taught creative writing courses at both Duke University and the University of North Carolina.
