Everyone told me high school would be some of the best years of my life. They were wrong.No one mentioned my best friend could morph into a social climbing backstabber. No one said dating could nearly kill me. And no one told me I could lose myself and find myself in a single moment. Of course, no one could possibly have known I would be knocked unconscious by a stupid football on my first day, or that my first two months of high school can basically be summed up by: Number of times I publicly puked: 3 Number of times I kissed a senior: 2 Number of times I committed naked burglary: 1 (but that was an accident)

An award-winning author explores the meaning of family in a novel that draws parallels between the lives of a modern man and an ancient biblical king. As he struggles with cancer, legendary screen actor David Wheaton contemplates the one role that always eluded him: King David.

As David’s loved ones gather to say goodbye to their patriarch, Certain Women masterfully links past and present in an emotional story rich in dramatic tradition, showcasing the struggles—both ordinary and extraordinary—of family life. From the renowned author of A Wrinkle in Time, Certain Women is a wise and “memorable work” (Kirkus Reviews). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Madeleine L’Engle including rare images from the author’s estate.
