<br/><br/> This collection of short stories traces an emotional arc inspired by Madeleine L'Engle's early life and career, from her childhood in New York to her life as a mother in small-town Connecticut. Almost all were written in the 1940s and '50s, from Madeleine's college years until just before the publication of A Wrinkle in Time. From realism to science-fiction to fantasy, there is something for everyone.
