Hello everyone, and welcome to Speaking with Joy, a podcast to fill your soul, challenge your mind, and make you brave.

I'm your host, Joy Clarkson, and an evangelist for all things good, true, and beautiful.

So make yourself a cup of tea, find somewhere comfortable, and let's dive in to this week's

episode.

Suddenly, she knew, she knew, love, that was what she had that it did not have.

Hello everybody and welcome back to Reading with Joy, our summer book club on A Rinkle in

Time by Madeline Wingle. I can hardly believe that this is the final week. I always feel the

sense both of triumph for having made it through a summer and managed to record

episodes and get them up and see everybody commenting on that, but also this sense of sadness,

because to finish a book is always to kind of close the cover on a friend, and also to close the

conversation with many people who have been talking about the book with me. So for everyone who has listened, I'm thankful for you.

I've loved learning and growing.

I always discover things I wouldn't have discovered without the conversations that I've had.

And speaking of conversations, so today I have the great fun of inviting our final guest on the show, Charlotte Jones Voiklis.

Welcome on the show, Charlotte.

Thank you. So lovely to be here.

And the fun thing is that you are our dear author's granddaughter. Is that right?

I am.

And you're also the executor of her estate.

Is that true?

You take care of her literary estate?

Yes, I take care of her literary estate, literary business.
