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.
