New Praise for Becoming Mrs. Lewis
“...this book, this historical fiction offers a plausible narrative for explaining how, late in his influential life, Lewis opened up himself (and his body) to a woman who had pursued him across oceans and years. I’m glad she did; and I’m glad she succeeded; and I’m glad Callahan put it on paper; and you will be glad when you also read this surprising and superlative story, a love story if ever there was one.”
—The Meetinghouse
"Becoming Mrs. Lewis filled that knowledge void wonderfully. Davidman by all accounts was truly a brilliant and remarkable woman in her own right and a figure very much under appreciated.”
—The Red Headed Traveler
"It’s a delightful love story…"
