 Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith
Deborah Heiligman
This is a fascinating biography of Charles Darwin. Details are given about his wealthy family, his early travels and research, as well as his hard decision on whether or not he should marry. Once Darwin decided, he believed it was the right choice for him to marry Emma Wedgewood, his first cousin (a common practice at that time). This couple remained very close for their entire lives. Charles' first concern was Emma and their children. He always showed her his writing, as she became his best editor and critic. Because he was so sickly, Emma usually nursed him like she did the young children. His biggest concern was denying any belief in religion while staying married to a deeply religious woman. Her hope to be with Charles for eternity was constantly in her mind. This book will be a good read for those ages 10 and up.
