Back in print by popular demand, this absorbing
account of Karen’s
six years as a hermit in a West Virginia
holler is “told with simplicity and gentle honesty, a story
of faith deepening, beauty awakening, and love discovered.” (Gerald
May) As one reader observed, we are given “the details -
the nitty-gritty, muddy details
- of a hermit’s daily living.” (Murray Bodo) Through
vivid vignettes, readers experience contemporary hermit
life lived amid poverty and privation, prayer and simple joy. (First
published 1994; republished 2004)

“This book is unique among eremitic
literature because it has emerged
from an ongoing dialogue by committed hermits, distilled and creatively
organized by a couple who themselves live the life. Hermits will
find this
book helpful in exploring how they fit into the surprising diversity
of this
hidden ‘movement’. The curious will be fascinated,
for the authors have
comprehensively intertwined the theoretical and the practical,
the dangers
and the allures, the misconceptions and the surprising richness
of
eremitical life.” - W. Paul Jones. It is a seminal study,
a handbook and
guide for hermits-to-be, and a prophetic voice expressing the
spirituality
of eremitism. Pub. 2008ISBN 0-595-48294-5 Softover 250pp. $20.95 iUniverse
