Are you ready to embark on a journey through time and immerse yourself in a beautifully crafted love story? Look no further than Patti Callahan's novel, Becoming Mrs. Lewis. This USA TODAY and Publishers Weekly best seller introduces us to Joy Davidman, a remarkable woman who captured the heart of celebrated author C.S. Lewis.
A Quest for Answers
Joy Davidman, a poet and writer from New York, never expected to find love in her correspondence with C.S. Lewis. Seeking spiritual guidance rather than romance, she exchanged letters with Lewis, known affectionately as Jack. Their minds connected, despite the apparent differences in their backgrounds. Joy, a strong-willed mother struggling in her failing marriage, seemed like an unlikely match for an Oxford professor and the renowned creator of The Chronicles of Narnia.
The Journey of a Lifetime
What follows is an extraordinary adventure as Joy travels from America to England and back again. Along the way, she experiences heartbreak and poverty, discovers friendship and faith, and against all odds, finds a love that not even the threat of death can destroy.
Breaking Barriers
Joy lived in a time when women were not encouraged to voice their opinions. However, her love for Jack gave them both unexpected voices and transformed their lives. Becoming Mrs. Lewis is not only a captivating historical novel but also a window into the life of a writer.
