Lásku našla v nepravdepodobnom priateľstve, v svete, ktorý ženy umlčiaval, a našla svoj hlas. Autorka bestsellerov podľa New York Times Patti Callahanová prináša výnimočný román o Joy Davidmanovej, žene, ktorú C. S. Lewis považoval za „celý svoj svet“. Joy, poetka a spisovateľka, sa s Lewisom, známym ako Jack, spojila nie kvôli láske, ale hľadaniu duchovných odpovedí. Jej rozpadávajúce sa manželstvo už dávno stratilo oporu v láske. Prostredníctvom listov sa s Jackom zblížili, a tak sa Joy vydala na cestu za najväčším dobrodružstvom svojho života: z Ameriky do Anglicka, späť, čelila manželskej kríze a chudobe, objavila priateľstvo, vieru a nakoniec aj lásku, ktorú smrť nedokázala zničiť. Kniha zachytáva jeden z najväčších ľúbostných príbehov moderných dejín, predstavuje skvelú spisovateľku, nezávislú matku a vášnivú ženu, ktorá zmenila život rešpektovaného autora a inšpirovala ho k písaniu kníh, ktoré nás dodnes oslovujú. Joy žila v dobe, keď ženy nemali hlas, no vďaka láske k Jackovi dokázali vyjadriť aj pocity, o ktorých ani netušili, že ich môžu cítiť. Tento fascinujúci historický román ponúka pohľad do života spisovateľa a predovšetkým je to príbeh o láske k literatúre a o vzájomnej láske manželov, ktorá sa nakoniec ukázala ako možná.
