Description
Becoming a Warrior is the triumphant memoir of about a shy, 10-year-old girl with a dream who has a dream and perseveres for fifty years to make that dream come true—to make a movie based on Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time. Working in the worlds of politics and entertainment, Catherine Hand learned lessons that gave her the courage and strength to navigate through personal tragedies and professional hurdles. She recounts her time spent with the legendary writer/producer Norman Lear and her 25-year-long conversation with L’Engle about the author’s treasured book. In 2018, five decades after Hand first read A Wrinkle in Time, Walt Disney Studios released a major motion picture based on the award-winning classic. The movie was directed by Ava DuVernay, written by Jennifer Lee, and starred Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Chris Pine, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Storm Reid. Becoming a Warrior offers a treasure trove of wisdom and advice for anyone with who has a dream.
