A Circle of Quiet -- Madeleine L'Engle

<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> <p/><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> <p/> 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. <p/> 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><b>Author:</b> Madeleine L'Engle<br><b>Publisher:</b> Open Road Media<br><b>Published:</b> 08/11/2020<br><b>Pages:</b> 254<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.64lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.58d<br><b>ISBN:
