Although the intended audience is young people, adult fans are the most likely readers of this breezy sketch of L'Engle's life, from childhood through the publication of A Wrinkle in Time. Not as comprehensive as Leonard S. Marcus's Listening for Madeleine (2012), but L'Engle's granddaughters present a sweet biography full of nice insight into the artist as a young woman, particularly as demonstrated in her journal entries.
