==Biography==
Willard was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she later received the B.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and won five Hopwood Awards for creative writing. She also studied at Stanford University, where she received her M.A.
Her first novel, ''Things Invisible to See'' (1985), is set in her home town of Ann Arbor in the 1940s. Two brothers become involved with a paralyzed young woman, and it "ends with a baseball game that anticipates the film ''Field of Dreams'' in its player lineup of baseball luminaries. Susan Fromberg Schaeffer said the novel 'has the quality of a fairy tale ... a paradigm of life as a Manichean conflict between good and evil'."〔Clarence A. Andrews (1992). ''Michigan in Literature''. Wayne State University Press. ISBN 0-8143-2368-5. Page 219.〕
Willard moved to Poughkeepsie, New York in 1965 where she was first a professor at Vassar College and later a lecturer, giving up her tenure to focus on writing. She retired from Vassar in 2013.〔149th Vassar College Commencement. May 26, 2013. ("Live Show Sun May 26 2013 09:40:34 AM" ).〕
