Her first novel, "The Hard Rain," was about radical activists in the 1970's. Her second, "Remember This," was a semi-autobiographical account of her growing up. Smith's third novel, "The Illusionist," is an exploration of transgenderism. It tells the story of what happens when a handsome young man arrives in a small town, young girls fall in love with him, and then it is discovered that "he" is really a "she."
