Like many collected works, these essays were of variable quality. Some had only the slightest of relation to L'Engle, her writings, or her beliefs. These, while not devoid of interest, tended to be my least favorite.
My favorite essays were the ones that took ideas from L'Engle's writing, especially her fiction, and related them to larger themes. This being L'Engle, the most common such theme was the role and importance of story and imagination, especially within the life of a believing Christian.
Overall, a worthwhile read for those who are interested in L'Engle's life and works. ( )
