Mammoth Cave – A Curse or a Cure?
Jared lost his aunt in the tuberculosis huts inside Mammoth Cave and then his uncle’s respect. Can it be restored by a young woman who works at the very cave he believes to be a curse?
Jared Edwards has been played the fool. Mammoth Cave’s doctor promised miracles for consumption victims and he believed it. But instead of celebrating the recovery of his aunt Mattie, he’s burying her and being sent away amid his uncle Dwight’s accusations. Driven by guilt, Jared is determined to close the death cave and restore his family.
Rose Barnett longed for finer things after a life of poverty. Mammoth Cave seems to bring this as she and her family work to keep the cave open for visitors and curiosity seekers. But under the threat of Jared and others, she may see her dreams vanish.
Will this cave of a curse become a cave of restoration and bring Jared and Rose together when the odds are the greatest?
This novel is based on the fascinating history of Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky.
