I absolutely love Martha Reben's books. I've managed to read all three, The Healing Woods, The Way of the Wilderness, and A Sharing of Joy. Has anyone else read them? I know they're kind of rare, but sometimes they can be found in used Adirondack book stores.

hope no issue with renewing an old thread. I read all 3 books, sold a set of 3 but I have reacquired 2 copies of The Healing Woods and gave one of those away.
I read somewhere she had a fourth manuscript in progress but it has been lost.
I first read THW when I was a grade-schooler. About 15 years ago I wondered if she was still alive; sad to hear she died quite young, around the time I first read her book in the mid 1960s
I just got back from a 2 week camp/paddle trip up that way; made it in to Little Weller for a bit. nice in there
edit to add: https://localwiki.org/hsl/Fred_M._Rice here is a link that gives a lot more of the story of Martha and Fred Rice. It touched my heart when I read where she wrote and asked a relative to send them 5 dollars per month to help with their expenses.
edited again to add a more pertinent Martha Reben link https://localwiki.org/hsl/Martha_Reben
