About ‘Becoming Madeleine’
This middle-grade biography explores the life and works of Madeleine L’Engle — written by her granddaughters.
This elegant and insightful biography of Madeleine L’Engle (1918-2007) was written by her granddaughters, Charlotte Jones Voiklis and Lena Roy. Using never-before-seen archival materials that include photographs, poems, letters, and journal entries from when Madeleine was a child until just after the publication of her classic, A Wrinkle in Time, her granddaughters weave together an in-depth and unique view of the famous writer. It is a story of overcoming obstacles — a lonely childhood, financial insecurity, and countless rejections of her writing — and eventual triumph. Becoming Madeleine will speak not only to fans of the icon’s work, but also to anyone interested in writing.
