I honestly can't remember which I read first: A Wrinkle in Time or SYWTBAW. I love both fiercely and can't imagine my imaginative life without them.
"Wrinkle," especially, introduced me to the concept of using the concept of science in a fantastical manner--not handwaving as much as playing. "Many Waters" made me take a look at the stories of my faith and question them. "Swiftly Tilting Planet" is still one of my favorite looks at how small action changes big things. I've never forgotten the images from these books--things that frighten me, things that thrill me, things that make my heart race with joy, and things that seem unbearably sad.
The only thing I'm sad about now was that I never thought to write her while I could, to tell her that.
