In Pursuit of Kate CorbettThe intriguing tale of a remarkable Irish woman; this fictionalised but fact based account is told here by her great grand daughter who follows her adventurous and ultimately curious journey through life. It was a journey that would entail heartbreak and pain as well as great love and joy. It would take her from a comfortable and prosperous home in Victorian Dublin to the wild and lawless reaches of Wyoming, which she would eventually leave, having raised her family, to take up the daunting challenge of monastic life when she was fifty seven years of age. |
