HTML:<p><b>The beloved author of <i>A Wrinkle in Time</i> takes an introspective look at her life and muses on creativity in this memoir, the first of her Crosswicks Journals.</b><br /> <i>Every so often I need OUT. . . . My special place is a small brook in a green glade, a circle of quiet from which there is no visible sign of human beings. . . . I sit there, dangling my legs and looking through the foliage at the sky reflected in the water, and things slowly come back into perspective.</i><br /> <br /> Set against the lush backdrop of Crosswicks, her family's farmhouse in rural Connecticut, this deeply personal memoir details Madeleine L'Engle's journey to find balance between her career as a Newbery Medal–winning author and her responsibilities as a wife, mother, teacher, and Christian.<br /> <br /> As she considers the roles that creativity, family, citizenship, and faith play in her life, L'Engle reveals the complexities behind the author whose works—honored with the National Book Award, the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award, and countless other prizes—have long been cherished by children and adults alike. Written in simple, profound, and often humorous prose, <i>A Circle of Quiet</i> is an insightful woman's elegant search for the meaning and purpose of her life.<br /> <br /> <i>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Madeleine L'Engle including rare images from the author's estate.</i><br /></p>.
