Mary Stolz

    24 mars 1920 – 15 décembre 2006

    Mary Stolz était une auteure célébrée pour enfants et adolescents, dont les romans étaient loués pour leur engagement sérieux face aux défis rencontrés par les jeunes. Ses protagonistes naviguaient souvent dans des paysages émotionnels et sociaux complexes, apprenant à agir de manière décisive dans diverses circonstances, des rôles professionnels aux luttes personnelles. Bien que ses histoires mêlaient fréquemment la romance à des situations réalistes, elles n'évitaient pas les résolutions imparfaites, les personnages masculins compliquant parfois les choses plutôt que d'offrir des solutions faciles. La voix distinctive de Stolz capturait les expériences authentiques et la résilience de l'adolescence.
