Letters from the Karst - Paperback

by Jane Olmsted (Author)

Horsewomen, hunters, and cavers, the Collins family has known their share of trauma. After the unexpected death of their father, his three daughters and their mother carve their separate ways forward, not all of them healthy. Sometimes it takes a big love to forgive, and in Letters from the Karst, the love of the land and its gifts guide the extended family and their friends to a shared peace.

Caves can be rich with life and they can externalize the emptiness within. In beautiful prose, Olmsted reveals the subterranean truths of these brave characters, their trauma, abuse, and recovery, and the animals who help them get there.
