Although Emily did spend a few short times away from Haworth, it was her primary residence and the rectory where she resided now serves as a Brontë Museum. Emily's only close friends were her brother Branwell and her sisters Charlotte and Anne. Emily died of tuberculosis on December 19, 1848, also at the age of thirty, and never knew the great success of her only novel <i>Wuthering Heights</i>, which was published almost exactly a year before her death. <p/><b>S.E. Hinton's</b> career as an author began while she was still a student at Will Rogers High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Disturbed by the clashes of the two gangs in her high school, the greasers and the Socs, Hinton wrote <i>The Outsiders</i>, an honest, sometimes shocking novel told from the point of view of a fourteen-year-old greaser named Ponyboy Curtis. <p/><i>The Outsiders</i> was published during Hinton's freshman year at the University of Tulsa and was an immediate sensation. Today, with more than fifteen million copies sold, it is the bestselling young adult novel of all time. The book was also made into a film in 1983, directed by Francis Ford Coppola and featuring budding young stars Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, and Rob Lowe. <p/>In 1988 Hinton was awarded the first annual Margaret A. Edwards Award, given in honor of an author "whose book or books, over a period of time, have been accepted by young people as an authentic voice that continues to illuminate their experiences and emotions, giving insight into their lives." S.E. Hinton still lives in Oklahoma with her husband, where she enjoys writing, relaxing, and riding horses.
