Reoccurring themes in her books for adults and children include the ravages of alcoholism on families, and the healing and redemptive power of animals. Her literary archives are in the de Grummond Children's Literature Collection at the University of Southern Mississippi and the Kerlan Collection of Children's Literature at the University of Minnesota.
