I wonder how many others felt she was a kind of guardian angel. Me, for one, but I wouldn't have been able to articulate it that way until I read what you wrote. Maia, you hit it exactly.

While I do love Wrinkle (or more accurately, Meg), I intersected with L'Engle personally -- as an awestruck me received A Ring of Endless Light from her own hands when I was in elementary school -- in a different space than she was in with Wrinkle. Her style of course fluctuated over her long writing life - consider A Severed Wasp versus some of the southern romances, or even The Young Unicorns versus Meet the Austins. And this is part of what I find most endearing - we can see the evolution of a intriguing, compassionate and passionate person; she shared that with us. I think for me it helped somewhat to be Episcopalian in my youth. Over the course of my growing up, I continued to cross paths with real-life elements/people from her stories... while we never met again, she was a bit of a guardian angel, her effects and our synchronicities shifting my life at odd and important times. When she died, it was the closest thing to losing a family member as losing someone who doesn't know *your* own name can be. But the integrity of her characters have left footprints all over my soul; which I am pleased to note when I come across them again. Not only L’Engle’s writing, but her theology evolved over time.
