Her novel about teens growing up in Oklahoma in 1965/1966 was a hit with young people all over the country and earned her the nickname, “The Voice of Youth.” She gave young people an author who was “one of their own,” someone who saw the world from their point of view and wrote about the real questions and fears they experienced.
