IN THIS REPEAT: In summer 2015 I shared a two-part interview about a new biography on Joy Davidman; here's BOTH parts.
While I just released my interview with Abigail Santamaria in two parts, due to the popularity of those shows it seems there are those who would like the convenience of having them combined. So, that's what this episode is, simply both chats in a single show. While nothing new has been added, the ending from the first part and introduction of the second has been removed (thus both shows together are shorter than the two combined). As noted previously, this is the first book from Abigail Santamaria and its the first full-length biography on Joy Davidman, who was an accomplished writer before she married C.S. Lewis. Some of the topics explored in this interview with William O'Flaherty include how Abigail became interested in Joy's life and about what the Davidman household was like growing up, Joy's first marriage to Bill Gresham, how Joy met Lewis, some factors that led to her divorce and how she ultimately married Lewis twice.

IN THIS REPEAT:
This is the second and final part of an interview with Abigail Santamaria about her debut book; a biography on Joy Davidman simply entitled JOY. Be sure to listen to the first part if you haven't already. There is a link below to help you locate it quickly. In the first part the topics included how Abby became interested in Joy's life and about what the Davidman household was like growing up, as well as her first marriage to Bill Gresham. Today's show will look more at how Joy met Lewis, some factors that led to her divorce and how she ultimately married Lewis twice. While this covers a lot of ground it does not go into how Joy didn't always make the wisest decisions as a Christian, which is in the book.

IN THIS REPEAT: The first of a two-part interview about the landmark biography on C.S. Lewis' wife, Joy Davidman.
While there have been various books on or related to the life story of Joy Davidman, an in-depth treatment has never been done. That is, until now. Over a dozen years in the making, Abigail Santamaria's debut biography is simply called Joy. To say that Joy Davidman was just the wife of C.S. Lewis is to ignore her own accomplishments as a writer and the influence she had in several books by Lewis. In this first of a two part interview, the topics that William O'Flaherty spoke with the author about include how she became interested in Joy's life and about what the Davidman household was like growing up, as well as her first marriage to Bill Gresham. The next part will look more at how Joy met Lewis, some factors that led to her divorce and how she ultimately married Lewis twice.
