Well, *eventually* Suzy would be old enough to be married and have 4
children, one of whom was named after her aunt. >:) _A Severed Wasp_.
(Which is *not* a children's book. Sequel to _The Small Rain_.) Oh,
and you'll never believe who she married....

That was the O'Keefes.
OK, I'm going to pull up my list of owned L'Engle books, delete the
non-fiction, and classify the fiction for you here:
AUSTIN:
Meet the Austins
The Moon By Night
The Young Unicorns
A Ring of Endless Light
Troubling a Star
MURRAY/O'KEEFE:
A Wrinkle In Time
A Wind in the Door
Many Waters
A Swiftly Tilting Planet
The Arm of the Starfish
Dragons in the Waters
A House Like a Lotus
An Acceptable Time
OTHER YOUNG ADULT FICTION:
And Both Were Young
Camilla
NON-JUVENILE FICTION:
The Small Rain
A Severed Wasp
A Winter's Love
The Love Letters
The Other Side of the Sun
Certain Women
A Live Coal In the Sea
And there are fun things like characters from everywhere else (or at
least everywhere else that had been written at that point) popping up
one way or another in _A Severed Wasp_, a character from _Camilla_
popping up in _A House Like a Lotus_, etc. I think one of the books I
have has a diagram showing who's where and how all the books in one
particular universe are connected, but I don't feel like trying to look
that up (much less transcribe information presented as a 2-D chart into
a space 80 characters wide) this evening....
