The Darwins’ Leap of Faith Wins Young Adult Book Award
Deborah Heiligman was the winner of this year’s YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction Award for her book Charles and Emma: The Darwin’s Leap of Faith.The award honors one young adult nonfiction book each year. Recently, Charles and Emma was also named a Michael L. Printz Honor book and a National Book Award finalist.
Heiligman’s book follows the story of Charles Darwin and his wife, Emma, and focuses on how Darwin’s marriage affected his approach to his work. Heiligman said she wondered how the two managed to maintain a “close and loving relationship” in the face of rising barriers between them. Specifically, the two remained devoted to each other as Charles prepared to challenge the church in front of his deeply religious wife.
