The greatest takeaway for me from her books is the ability to say "I don't know." Well, I guess that's more what I get from her non-fiction. In her fiction, I see more of a sense of awe about the power of love and relationships, and how people can grow and change. I was amazed to learn she never took a science course in college!

Both were important influences at an impressionable age. We have lost another great writer. I read a Wrinkle in Time many years ago, not long after The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
