Very Good Condition - Light reading crease to the spine and a few small scuffs to the back cover. Page edges are lightly toned, pages are clean and tidy.

New York poet Joy Davidman begins writing to C. S. Lewis in search of answers about faith and her work, while her own marriage is coming apart. She has little reason to imagine that the English academic and author of Narnia will become central to her life. Their correspondence reveals shared interests, intellectual sympathy and a friendship that deepens as Joy travels between America and England. Facing financial hardship, heartbreak and difficult decisions, she must find the courage to pursue a life beyond the limits she once accepted. Patti Callahan imagines Joy's journey towards the relationship that made her Mrs Lewis, giving her own ambitions, questions and voice a central place in their love story.
