A childhood memory by John Podhoretz who lived in the same apartment building as L'Engle:
I wrote her the first fan letter of my life and, heart pounding, rode the elevator to 9 and slipped it under her door. Within hours a package was left at our door with an inscribed copy of its recently published sequel, A Wind at the Door, a box of baked chocolate chip cookies, and a response that was so appreciative I could hardly believe it, it was so gracious and thoughtful.NPR Tribute
My Faith in Literature book group is reading A Small Rain (recommended by Semicolon) by L'Engle in October.
