Her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, The Paris Review, and other places. Thomas has published two books: 2017's Louisa: The Extraordinary Life of Mrs. Adams, a biography of First Lady Louisa Adams, and 2011's Conscience: Two Soldiers, Two Pacifists, One Family--a Test of Will and Faith in World War I, about the moral conflicts her family endured during World War I and focusing on her pacifist great grandfather, Norman Thomas.
