"I can always count on L'Engle to bare her soul articulately and honestly whether or not it reflects well on her. I had thought that I was far enough past the deaths of my parents to finally finish up the Crosswicks Journals but the poignancy of some of the passages showed me that there probably isn't enough time to be safely past them."
"Madeleine's commentary on her mother's decline do to Alzheimers reminded me so very much of the loss of my mother to the same, horrible disease. It was comforting to know that someone else had had the same thoughts and feelings."
"I devoured this book though not as quickly as the first one as it dealt with heavier topics and had some passages that were interesting but long winded. Madeline L'Engle continues to be one of those people I want to sit and have tea with and have good stimulating conversation about everything."
"This is one of the first books I've read in a while that has let me cry - written beautifully, conveying emotions honestly and truthfully. I love L'Engle's autobiographical works. They make me feel a little bit "normal", and inspire me remarkably - to write, to read, even to do my homework!"
