Has anyone here read any of her stories? They are most definitely not for those who like happy endings, but I like them all the same. I think two of my personal favorites are "Revelation" and "Parker's Back".

I read some of her short stories. I remember enjoying especially "A good man is hard to find", but I remember that Revelation and Parker's Back were also there, only that I cannot remember them too well now...

"A Good Man is Hard to Find" has an ending that caught me completely by surprise. But it was a great story. Another ending that blindsided me was in "The Lame Shall Enter First".

It's been said that it is her literary way of speaking about the "divine providence" the care that God has for humans and about the change that the divine grace works in men/women.
