“The only command nature demands of us is to look and be present. But do not demand more of her than she can give.”
Patti Callahan is fast becoming a favorite author of mine. I have always enjoyed CS Lewis’s books so reading upon Once Upon A Wardrobe by Callahan two years ago endeared me to her as I was transported back in time to when Lewis was writing the Narnia series. With Becoming Mrs. Lewis, I was once again transported to England while Lewis was writing and falling in love with the woman who would eventually become his wife. Joy Davidson (the woman who became his wife) was such an interesting woman! She had a hard life but gave her all to support her sons while escaping an awful situation of her own.
Patti Callahan is a masterful storyteller and she brought together words penned by Lewis and Davidson in such a lovely way while also creating a narrative in between that drew me in to the details of their lives.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
