What do you like about this book:
"Are you trapped in darkness today"?
Devlin Bale, an aspiring cartographer, has his sights set on mapping the expansive caverns of Kentucky's Mammoth Cave. Using his senior term as a means of accelerating the project, he begins by taking a series of daily trips underground, led by a seasoned guide and his young assistant, Rebekah Hardin. As Devlin, Tolly and Rebekah spend more and more time together, the more intrigued Devlin becomes with the lovely mountain girl; she's surprisingly educated, quite intuitive, and emanates kindness towards everyone she meets.
Rebekah Hardin is determined to earn enough wages from her Mammoth Cave position to erase the pain from her mother's eyes. A tragic accident, for which Rebekah feels responsible, stole Nell Hardin's joy. As she and Tolly assist Devlin Blake with his cartography, she can't help but wonder at their natural connection, even though there is nothing remotely similar about their backgrounds. Rebekah senses that Devlin is not being completely honest about his motives for mapping the area's cave systems, but it's his view of eternity that grieves her the most; how can she direct him towards the One true light?
An exquisite story with all the right ingredients; great characters, lovely setting, fascinating history and an endless maze of truth and inspiration.
