When my son was in high school, he took a class called "coming-of-age novel". Here is the reading list for his class, maybe you'll find it useful.

A Portrait of the artist as a young man by Joyce
The catcher in the rye by Salinger
Black swan green by Mitchell
The Bell Jar by Plath
Sag Harbor by Whitehead
Housekeeping by Robinson
Girl in landscape by Lethem

Also, what about Gone with the wind?
