Resnik wrote such novels as Life Without Father, House Happy and The Girl in the Turquoise Bikini, which was also adapted to film with the title, How Sweet It Is!
She was working on a sequel to The Garden Club at the time of her death on March 6, 1995, in New Haven, Connecticut of heart failure after a long illness.
