Three years later, she published her only novel, \u003ci\u003eLives of Girls and Women\u003c\/i\u003e. Over the next few decades, she published many more short story collections, including \u003ci\u003eWho Do You Think You Are?\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Moons of Jupiter\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eHateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage\u003c\/i\u003e, from which a story was later adapted into the two-time Academy Award–winning movie, \u003ci\u003eAway from Her\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eRunaway\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eThe View from Castle Rock\u003c\/i\u003e.
