A Light So Lovely: The Spiritual Legacy of Madeleine L’Engle – Sarah Arthur

A Wrinkle in Time captured my imagination as a child and was a favorite.  As a result, I was very eager to read this book.  It did not disappoint!  Although the author does include quite a bit of biographical information about Madeleine L’Engle, the primary focus of the book is detailing the powerful impact and influence she has had on others, and it is fascinating.
