For half a century Madeleine L'Engle has crafted an uplifting dance in words, touching lives and earning a devoted readership with her award-winning fiction, her candid reflections on her personal and family life in rural Connecticut and New York City, and her graceful meditations on faith.At turns intimate, provocative, and philosophical, each of these 366 carefully chosen readings shares the heightened awareness of an artist as adept at exploring the nature of life, art, and beauty in the context of God and the cosmos as she is at imagining a time-travel adventure or addressing the task of combining marriage, family, and work. With enduring power and resonance, these rich selections speak to the simple joys and sorrows of daily life and the deepest questions of the human heart and spirit. L'Engle's faith in a God of wonder and love is apparent throughout, offering us wise, compassionate, and engaging insight into our own lives and providing more than just a glimpse of the accomplished artistry of one of the most spiritually alive and articulate storytellers of this century.
