As an author of children's books, Shreve has been described as a \"master of subtle and wise perception\" (Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books). Her writing in general has consistently taken on a broad range of controversial topics, including political ideology (Children of Power, 1979, which tackles McCarthyism and responses to it), terrorism (Plum and Jaggers, 2000); disability (The Lovely Shoes, 2011) and Warm Springs, 2008); perceptions of racial identity (Glimmer, 1997, as \"Annie Waters\"); suicide, old age, and divorce (Family Secrets, 1979); and unwed parenthood (Loveletters, 1978, a book which was suppressed by its own publisher amid a controversy between writers, reviewers, and educators, with a subsequent debate in the press that Loveletters should be banned in schools). Her books are page-turners with rich character descriptions often likened to Charles Dickens, and filled with dramatic events.\n ","The bulk of the collection represents her writings, including notebooks with manuscript drafts of many of her works and typescripts, many with annotations, including original versions of novels and stories with alternate titles and unpublished works  including I Can Touch an Autumn Morning, Wooden And Wicker, In The Center Ring, The Unadoptables, and Geography Of A Marriage.","\nAlso included are book files which are(organized alphabetically by title) and consist of correspondence, clippings, reviews, promotional material, and ephemera such as dustjackets.
