"In her inspiring, vividly composed and always faithful book" (Susan Muto), Karen Karper describes a world where life is rich in being rather than in having. Selected as a Catholic Book of the Month, Where God Begins To Be fulfills Murray Bodo's observation that "...instead of myth fabricated from a few fragments, we have here the details--the nitty-gritty, muddy details--of a hermit's daily living." Karen is a "Seer who brings you along with her, joyfully." (Richard Rohr) "In deftly drawn vignettes, Karper's story, told with simplicity and gentle honesty, is one of faith deepening, beauty awakening, and love discovered." (Gerald May)

From the Author:

The six years I spent living as a hermit opened a world of special contentment for me. I learned how to trust when I was helpless and found that God revealed Her loving care for me day by day. Although I left my little cabin in WV to live in the mountains of NC, I brought my eremitical and Franciscan ideals into my marriage. I still embrace the ideals of silence, simplicity and solitude that I explored in depth while I wrote "Where God Begins to Be."
