Jej písanie je prenikavé a často sa zaoberá zdanlivo jednoduchými udalosťami, aby odhalilo hlbšie pravdy o ľudskej povahe. Autorka vyniká v zachytení zložitosti ľudských emócií a v skúmaní, ako môžu tragické udalosti viesť k osobnému rastu a porozumeniu. Tieto diela ponúkajú jedinečný pohľad na univerzálne témy vytrvalosti a ľudskej odolnosti.
