Summary
"This biocritical review focuses on Karen Hesse, whose work Out of the Dust won the Newbery Medal in 1998 and who was awarded a Genius fellowship by the MacArthur Foundation - one of only two such fellowships ever given to writers for children or adolescents. Oliphant Ingham includes interviews with Hesse and her publisher, as well as considerable detail on how the author writes, researches, creates topics and characters, and weaves real-life experiences into her stories.".
"Works examined include Out of the Dust, The Music of Dolphins, Letters from Rifka, A Light in the Storm, The Civil War Diary of Amelia Martin, and A Time of Angels. Each book involves issues of family; challenges and decisions; difficulties of life; strong, independent female characters; differences in people; and writing and the use of language. Teachers, librarians and teen readers will find this an intriguing look into the writing of Karen Hesse."--BOOK JACKET.
