A Circle of Quiet (The Crosswicks Journals Book 1)by Madeleine L’Engle

The beloved author of A Wrinkle in Time takes an introspective look at her life and muses on creativity in this memoir, the first of her Crosswicks Journals.

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.

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.

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, A Circle of Quiet is an insightful woman’s elegant search for the meaning and purpose of her life.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Madeleine L’Engle including rare images from the author’s estate.

Demanding All of Youby Ali Parker

She’s playing hard to get, and I love it.

I decided a long time ago to let my career as a high-powered New York Editor and my son be my only focuses.

But my family had hoped for a different fate.

As much as I miss them, I’ve lost touch with them, and with love in general.

Wealth calls to me after my grandfather dies and leaves me his billions.

But there’s one catch. There always is, right?

I have to live on the farm I grew up on for six months and take a break from my big city life.

It’s worth it and maybe my little boy will enjoy the time with me.

One thing I never expected was a beautiful woman to show up and steal our hearts.

She’s everything I want in my life and my bed.

But she’s a tough cookie. I’m up for the challenge.

There’s nothing I’ve wanted in life that I haven’t gotten.

Unfortunately for her, I don’t want just six months in Montana.

I’m demanding all of her.

This is book 1 in a 3 book series. You will have to read books 2 and 3 to complete the series.
