About the Author:
Madeline L'Engle, the popular author of many books for children and adults, has interspersed her writing and teaching career with raising three children, maintaining an apartment in New York and a farmhouse of charming confusion which is called "Crosswicks."
From AudioFile:
L'Engle's memoir of her early years, courtship and forty-year marriage to Hugh Franklin deals candidly and thoughtfully with issues of love, a spiritual life, the demands of her life as a writer and Franklin's as an actor, and the effects of these on family life. While the author reads clearly and distinctly, the periodic hesitation and choppiness of a nonprofessional are present. These are soon overlooked, however, because of the skillful and perceptive writing. This engrossing and personal account provides insight into the life of an author and the journey of a marriage.
