She wrote Suzuki Beane (1961 with illustrator Louise Fitzhugh.)[2]
She came out as a lesbian in the 1970s.[3] Her play Home Again, Home Again, Jiggerty Jig was produced by TOSOS, a gay and lesbian theatre company, in 1975.[4] Her book Happy Endings Are All Alike (1978) was one of the earliest young-adult books to depict a lesbian relationship; it was chosen by the American Library Association for its "Best Books for Young Adults" list.[1] Three of her novels have been finalists for the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Mystery.[5][6][7]
