Charles and Emma: The Darwins’ Leap of Faith by Deborah Heiligman looks beyond Charles Darwin’s impact on evolutionary theory and focuses more on who he was as a man. It is well researched and based on several personal journals, so I believe it is very accurate. I still don’t believe Darwin came to the right conclusions in his writings, but I grew to respect him as a person. He had a wonderful relationship with his family and was a great husband and father. The book was really well written and captured my attention, and I really came to care about the family. The book doesn’t try to influence whether or not Darwinism is true—it focuses on the people. I would highly recommend it to anyone!Review by David Dunkerton
