The entire premise of A Wrinkle In Time is enough to inspire and motivate you! The manuscript was rejected dozens and dozens of time before being published in 1962. Author Madeleine L’Engle theorized it took so long because it was “too different” – a science fiction novel with a female protagonist (go Diva Meg!); quantum physics; and adults and children alike can read and enjoy this novel. It was just doing too much for the times it was written in. Something many of us can relate to with our out-of-the-box ideas that may not always be accepted by those we love and admire.
