Naylor was born on January 4, 1933, in Anderson, Indiana, to Eugene S. Naylor hopes that by writing about sensitive topics and exposing her readers to characters and ideas that are different, she can encourage them to become more open minded. She also writes humorous mysteries (the Bessledorf series) and books about the supernatural (the York trilogy and the Witch trilogy). She writes about serious issues such as mental illness in The Keeper, crib death in A Story of Chances, and difficult moral questions in Shiloh. Naylor's books portray her understanding of the trials and tribulations of childhood and adolescence. Her protagonists, or main characters, are strong, honest, determined characters that mature as a result of having prevailed despite adversity. She has been described as prolific (she has written over one hundred books, most of which are for children and young adults) and versatile (she writes picture books, fiction, nonfiction, and instruction books). Phyllis Reynolds Naylor is an American author and journalist.
