"From the bestselling author of Becoming Mrs. Lewis comes another beautiful story inspired by C. S. Lewis's ability to change the world and captivate hearts-including those of a terminally ill boy and his logic-driven sister"-- - Baker & Taylor
When her younger brother, who doesnât have long to live, asks her to find out where Narnia came from, brilliant Oxford scholar Megs Devonshire, as her gift to him, sets out to find the truth, and, when the answer Is revealed, discovers her brotherâs gift to her: hope. - Thomas Nelson
College student Megs Devonshire sets out to fulfill her younger brother Georgeâs last wish by uncovering the truth behind his favorite story. What transpires is a fascinating look into the bond between siblings and the life-changing magic of stories.
1950: Margaret Devonshire (Megs) is a seventeen-year-old student of mathematics and physics at Oxford University. When her beloved eight-year-old brother asks Megs if Narnia is real, logical Megs tells him itâs just a book for children, and certainly not true. Homebound due to his illness, and remaining fixated on his favorite books, George presses her to ask the author of the recently released novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe a question: âWhere did Narnia come from?â
Despite her fear about approaching the famous author, who is a professor at her school, Megs soon finds herself taking tea with C. S. Lewis and his own brother Warnie, begging them for answers.
Rather than directly telling her where Narnia came from, Lewis encourages Megs to form her own conclusion as he shares the little-known stories from his own life that led to his inspiration. As she takes these stories home to George, the little boy travels farther in his imagination than he ever could in real life.
After holding so tightly to logic and reason, her brotherâs request leads Megs to absorb a more profound truth: âThe way stories change us canât be explained. It can only be felt. Like love.â
