sweet salve for our achey breakey hearts

wonder | wander | world shares this sweet find - a treasure trove of stories that inspire a "great capacity for wonder" (New York Times) from the beloved author of A Wrinkle in Time, this collection transcends generational divides to highlight the power of hope and joy.



The Moment of Tenderness is a powerful collection of short stories that traces an emotional arc inspired by Madeleine L'Engle's early life and career, from her lonely childhood in New York to her life as a mother in small-town Connecticut.

In a selection of eighteen stories discovered by one of L'Engle's granddaughters, we see how L'Engle's personal experiences and abiding faith informed the creation of her many cherished works.

L’Engle shared with her readers her great capacity for wonder, and her refreshingly earnest desire to tunnel deep inside the human heart and expose its power to generate and regenerate hope and love — even in the face of eviscerating darkness. ~ Heidi Pitlor
