Als die Dichterin und Schriftstellerin Joy Davidman im Jahr 1950 anfing, Briefe an C. S. Lewis zu schreiben, suchte sie nach Gott. Denn nach einer ?berraschenden wie sp?rbaren Glaubenserfahrung hatte die Atheistin mehr Fragen als Antworten. Was zwischen ihr und dem Oxford-Gelehrten Clive Staples Lewis als loser Briefwechsel begann, sollte sich ?ber die Jahre zu einer der unwahrscheinlichsten Liebesgeschichten der Neuzeit entwickeln. Denn die Lebenswelt von Joy Davidman – sie stammte aus einer j?dischen Familie, war Kommunistin und ungl?cklich mit einem Alkoholiker verheiratet – war so ganz anders als die von „Jack“, dem brillanten Schriftsteller hinter B?chern wie „Die Perelandra-Trilogie“, „Die gro?e Scheidung“ und den „Chroniken von Narnia“. Und dennoch: Ihr Geist verband sich miteinander ?ber ihre Briefe. Als Joy Davidman sich dann in das Abenteuer ihres Lebens st?rzte, reiste sie von Amerika nach England und zur?ck, sah sich mit Herzschmerz und Armut konfrontiert, fand echte Freundschaft und Glauben sowie gegen alle Widerst?nde eine Liebe, die selbst der Tod nicht zerst?ren konnte. Zweifach pr?miert mit dem „Christy Award“ f?r herausragende christliche Inhalte: Buch des Jahres 2019 Bester historischer Liebesroman

‘A captivating tale …This novel is a delight’ THE TIMES‘A terrific novel … It springs off the page’ DEBORAH MOGGACH'Vividly engaging’ SUNDAY TIMES‘Maud could tell the whole story, but she will not’Chelsea 1876: Jimmy Whistler stands on the cusp of fame, ready to astound the London art world with his radical paintings. At his side is Maud Franklin, his muse, lover and occasional pupil, sharing his house, his dazzling social life and his grand hopes for the future.But Jimmy’s rebelliousness comes at a heavy price for them both as he battles a furious patron, challenges an influential and viciously hostile critic and struggles with a dire lack of cash. Before long a fight for survival is being waged through the galleries, the drawing rooms and even the courts – and Maud, Jimmy’s Madame and closest ally, is expected to do her part.The Madame has problems of her own, however. Maud has fallen pregnant, and must now face the reality of what life with Jimmy entails. As the situation starts to unravel, as loyalties are sorely tested and bankruptcy looms, she has to decide what she wants. Who she is. What she is prepared to endure.Stunning and suspenseful, this a story of one woman’s progress through a world of beauty and sacrifice, art and ambition; a story which asks what we will withstand for love, and what it means to reach for greatness.

Finding Mrs. Warnecke tells the inspiring story of Cindi Rigsbee, a three-time Teacher of the Year, and Barbara Warnecke, the first-grade teacher who had a profound and lasting impact on Cindi's life. Cindi, an insecure child who craved positive attention, started her first-grade year with a teacher who was emotionally abusive and played favorites in the classroom. Two months into the school year, her principal came into the classroom and announced that half the students were being moved to another classroom–a dank, windowless basement room, with a young and inexperienced teacher. This change turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to Cindi. Her new teacher, Mrs. Warnecke, made learning come alive for her students. She went overboard caring for each child, made her classroom «magical,» and encouraged students to pursue their dreams. Although Cindi was reluctant to explore her creativity as a student, Mrs. Warnecke encouraged her to read and write poetry, which became a lifelong passion. The two kept in touch for several years but lost track of each other when Mrs. Warnecke moved out of state. Cindi spent many years trying to reconnect so she could thank Mrs. Warnecke for making such a difference in her life, but to no avail. Eventually Cindi became a teacher herself, and thirty years later she has taught more than 2,000 children and been named Teacher of the Year for her home state. She later came to realize that all those years she wasn't really trying to track down Barbara Warnecke, but rather, she was trying to «find Mrs. Warnecke» within herself. In Fall 2008 Cindi and Barbara were reunited on Good Morning America; the show's producers had tracked Barbara down and brought both women on-set for a tearful reunion. Barbara was floored at this attention–she had no idea she could have made such an impact on a former student's life. As Cindi travels around talking with new and veteran educators, she is always approached by audience members who are moved to tears and want to share the story of the «Mrs. Warnecke» in their own lives. Finding Mrs. Warnecke not only tells the story of this teacher who made a lifelong impact on her students, it illustrates the importance of the teacher/student relationship in the classroom, and offers principles for other teachers to follow to make a positive impact in their own classrooms.
