[Magdalen] LMA

[Ann Markle]

I dearly love all the LMA books, and I've probably read Little Women at
least 20 times. I also dearly love the Narnia books, which I read for the
first time when I was in seminary. I'll never forget the coming on shore
scene from Dawntreader, with the lamb on the shore who says, "Come and have
breakfast." That scene, and its parallel and origin in John's Gospel, never
fail to transport me.
