No, I'm sorry I was unclear.

Jaimie is introduced in Hoffman's first novel, The Thread That Binds the Bones.

The People stories are by Zenna Henderson, who mostly wrote them during the 50s and 60s. I see them as similar to Thread in that they're about a group of related families who see themselves as "different", and that try to protect their own community. One of the things they indulge is a kink for people trying to find the place/community where they truly belong. Thread also has a little of that, but in a more, mmm, sophisticated way, maybe? I'm not sure how else to say it.
