This is a compelling story of how the friendship and eventually love came about between Joy Davidman and C.S. Lewis. The first contact was Joy writing to C.S. Lewis asking about spiritual advice. They spend several years writing letters before they finally met. She was from the US and he was from England. So they were oceans apart. Reading this book makes me want to read the works of C.S. Lewis.

He living in Oxford England and she a married woman loving in upstate New York state with two young boys, an abusive alcoholic husband, a converted Jew, former atheist, ex-Communist turned Christian. Her influence on Lewis' writing is evident in his later works and his road to love at a more advanced age is described from various points in their relationship.
