Segal's notable works include the semi-autobiographical novel "Other People's Houses," which portrays her own displacement during World War II, and "Her First American," a novel exploring cross-cultural relationships. She has also contributed to children's literature, with books like "Tell Me a Mitzi." Segal's writing is characterized by wit, emotional depth, and a distinctive narrative voice. She has received various awards and honors throughout her career, and her works have been critically acclaimed for their intelligence and compassion.
