About the Author
Madeleine L'Engle was a prolific American author renowned for her imaginative explorations of faith, science, and the human spirit. Born in 1918 in New York City, she drew from her own life experiences as a wife, mother, and educator to craft stories that resonate across generations. L'Engle's work often bridges the mystical and the everyday, challenging readers to ponder profound questions about existence and divinity. Her seminal young adult novel A Wrinkle in Time earned the Newbery Medal and introduced the world to the Murray family, while her Genesis Trilogy, beginning with And It Was Good: Reflections on Beginnings, offers poetic meditations on creation and spirituality. Throughout her career, she authored over 60 books, blending fiction and nonfiction with a voice that inspires wonder and introspection. L'Engle passed away in 2007, leaving a legacy that continues to illuminate the intersections of belief and imagination.
