A mesmerizing memoir by Joy Davidman's son that retells the tender love story of his mother and C. S. Lewis.



From the Back Cover



Including the True Story of the Remarkable Love Affair between Joy Davidman and C. S. Lewis

There has probably never been a less likely couple: she, an American divorcee and the mother of two young boys; he, an Oxford don and confirmed bachelor who inhabited an eccentric household with his brother, a retired Royal Army major. Yet the relationship of C. S. Lewis and Joy Davidman, portrayed in this moving autobiography by her son Douglas Gresham, was destined to become of the most deeply moving love stories of our time.



Review Quotes




"A moving recollection of one of the most tender love stories of mid-century." - Chicago Tribune

"Gresham is a brilliant writer in his own right. . . . With his literary acumen and exposure to Lewis, [Gresham] will give Lewis fans more accurate, penetrating insight into the philospher than any other biographer--a perspective that is long overdue." - Bookstore Journal
