Person
Maureen Daly (1921–2006), still in college when she wrote Seventeenth Summer, captured quintessential adolescent experiences with extraordinary freshness and sensitivity. Seventeenth Summer was chosen unanimously as the first winner of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute Literacy Fellowship. She has also been honored with the O. Henry Award, the Freedoms Foundation Award, and the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award for her literary work.
