The bestselling author of A Wrinkle in Time explores life and death as she chronicles her husband's passing and her own painful recovery after being struck by a car.
For Madeleine L'Engle, story captures our hearts and feeds our imaginations. It reminds us who we are and where we came from. Story gives meaning and direction to our lives as we learn to see it as an affirmation of God's love and truth--an acknowledgement of our longing for a rock in the midst of life's wilderness.
Drawing upon her own experiences, including the death of her husband and her own near-death experience after a terrible car accident, well-known tales in literature, and selected narratives from Scripture, Madeleine L'Engle gently leads the way into the glorious world of story in The Rock That Is Higher. Here she acknowledges universal human longings and considers how literature, Scripture, personal stories, and life experiences all point us toward our true home.

Madeline L'Engle, the popular author of many books for children and adults, has interspersed her writing and teaching career with raising three children, maintaining an apartment in New York and a farmhouse of charming confusion which is called "Crosswicks."
