| 1979 | Black Tickets. The West Virginia-born writer's third story collection, preceded by Sweethearts (1976) and Counting (1978), establishes her as one of the finest chroniclers of the generation that came of age in the 1970s. A fourth collection, Fast Lanes, would appear in 1984. |
| 1994 | Shelter. This initiation novel involves a drifter, two young sisters, a feral boy, and violence at a summer camp in West Virginia in 1963. Praised for its atmospherics, it is also condemned by some critics for being too self-consciously literary. Nonetheless, this second novel by the much-praised author of the story collection Black Tickets (1979) wins several awards. |
