Mary Stolz

    24. marec 1920 – 15. december 2006

    Mary Stolzová bola uznávanou autorkou pre deti a mládež, ktorej romány získali uznanie za vážnosť, s akou pristupovala k problémom mladých ľudí. Jej hrdinky sa museli vyrovnávať so zložitými situáciami a naučiť sa konať, či už pracovali ako zdravotné sestry, žili v sociálnom bytovom dome, alebo sa vymanili zo sociálnej izolácie prácou servírky. Jej diela často spájali romantiku s realistickými situáciami, pričom mužské postavy nie vždy prinášali šťastné konce. Stolzová majstrovsky zachytávala autentické skúsenosti dospievajúcich.
