An author of both science and faith, Madeleine L’Engle is the original author of the children’s classic A Wrinkle in Time (Time Quintet, #1). Not a stranger to false failure in later life, L’Engle was turned down 30+ times by publishers before finding a home for Wrinkle in 1962. One of the most banned books of all time, Wrinkle’s message of love and self-realization has changed innumerable lives, young and old alike.
