Stones for Ibarra.

I adored that book. ~ Here we go - I wiki-ed her:

Following her husband's death, Harriet Doerr returned to California. At the suggestion of her son Michael, a 1953 Stanford graduate, she decided to finish the education which had been interrupted so long before by her marriage. She enrolled once again at Stanford, and in 1977, took her BA degree in European history. While at Stanford, she began writing, with sufficient success to earn a Stegner Fellowship in 1979, and she soon began publishing short stories.

Her first novel Stones for Ibarra, was published in 1984 and won that year's National Book Award for first work of fiction. Her second novel, Consider this, Senora, was published in 1993, and a collection of short stories and essays, Tiger in the Grass: Stories and other Inventions followed in 1995. A television adaptation of Stones for Ibarra was presented by Hallmark Hall of Fame in 1988
