"The Tenth Month", the autobiographical story of a divorced woman of forty who discovers she is pregnant, was published in 1971, and filmed for television in 1979 with Carol Burnett. Hobson's next novel was the well-received "Consenting Adult" (1975), about parents who learn that their son is homosexual, based on her experience with her own son, Christopher; it was adapted for television in 1985 with Marlo Thomas and Martin Sheen. It was followed by the neglected "Over and Above" (1979), which explored concepts of Jewish identity in the story of three generations of women; and her final novel, "Untold Millions" (1982), the tale of a young advertising copywriter and the feckless man she loves.
