I am paying my respects to Ms. Madeleine L’Engle (1918-2007), who wrote one of my very favorite books as a child, A WRINKLE IN TIME. The book came to me when I was nine and I’d grown tired of reading and re-reading my robust collection of comic books. Though our teacher read us parts of A WRINKLE IN TIME, I wanted the book for myself. So, I borrowed it from the library, ever eager to visit Ms. L’Engle’s words again. Instead, I visited her worlds. And mine changed in the process. Thank you for your stories, Ms. L’Engle.

“It was only after it was written that I realized what some of it meant.” ~ Madeleine L’Engle, Referring to A WRINKLE IN TIME
