Their book ''Abby, My Love'', 1985, is considered to be the first in children's literature to deal with incest/child sexual abuse.〔 == Themes == Hadley Irwin wrote so called 'problem novels' about teenagers, aimed at young adults, for example about alcoholism, racism, antisemitism, incest/child sexual abuse and suicide.〔〔 According to The New York Times, the novel ''Abby, My Love'' (1985) was the first novel in children's literature to deal with incest/child sexual abuse.〔 The main character of the book is a girl who is sexually abused by her father.〔 In spite of the heavy subjects, the books are written with humour, and the main theme is coming of age, and relations between people. Their historic novels are based on facts.〔 The book ''We Are Mesquakie We Are One'' describes the history of the Mesquakie accurately, according to Adeline Wanatee (born 1910 in the Mesquakie Indian Settlement in Iowa, and the first woman elected to the Meskwaki Tribal Council). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hadley Irwin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
