This story, called Mike’s Hero, was published and Naylor received all of $4.67 for her work. When she was 16 years old, a Sunday school teacher asked her to write a story for the church magazine. These shared stories, from Mark Twain to Lewis Carroll, are among Naylor’s deepest and happiest memories - and inspired her to write her own short stories, beginning as a very young girl. Her parents shared theatrical read alouds with Naylor and her siblings every evening, well until her teen years. It relates to the point above and has to do with the framing of many of your points.Phyllis Reynolds Naylor was born in 1933 in Anderson, Indiana, growing up during the Great Depression.

I've rephrased the sentence by quoting the source.

If it's from the source, then phrase the sentence to say that so: if it isn't then drop "captivating".

'Shiloh has a "compacted time-frame, bounded by the past-tense opening and closing".' I think a source straight after the quotation would be beneficial (I know it'll be the same one as later in the paragraph, but it just keeps it tighter, especially if someone edits something else into the paragraph in the future).

"Trudy Madden, who with her husband adopted the abused dog Naylor saw, said in a 1997 interview…" This seems a bit clunky: see if you can re-work the sentence somehow."Having published over 100 books, Naylor wrote a short story for a church magazine when she was 16 years old and a book in her early 30s."
