BooksHer first novel, Leaving Atlanta, is a three-voiced coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the Atlanta Child Murders of 1979-81.

It won the 2003 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for Debut Fiction.[3] Aletha Spann of 30Nineteen Productions has purchased the film option for Leaving Atlanta.[4] The Untelling is also set in Atlanta.
