Just days after turning fifty, Martha Maddux, a spirited mother and civic activist, was told she had Alzheimer's disease. She and her husband, Carlen, felt as though they'd been shoved out of a plane 10,000 feet up, with nothing to grab but themselves. But A Path Revealed is not about the fallout from an insidious disease that extended nearly seventeen years. It is in Carlen's words, "The story of a path emerging during our darkest hours, a path that we neither planned nor foresaw."
Carlen traveled with Martha to the backwoods of Kentucky, where the quiet presence of a Catholic nun revealed a hidden path. He was forced to slow down as he traced this path halfway around the world to Australia, retreated weekends to a monastery, embraced meditation, and landed all alone in Thomas Merton's cell.
A Path Revealed echoes accents heard in Anne Lamott's Traveling Mercies, Richard Rohr's Falling Upward, and John Bunyan's 17th-century classic, The Pilgrim's Progress.

Carlen Maddux is a career journalist. For twenty-six years he was an editor and owner of the Maddux Report, a business magazine covering the Tampa Bay region. He previously was a business writer for the nationally recognized St. Petersburg Times. Martha and Carlen raised their three children David, Rachel, and Kathryn in St. Petersburg, FL. The couple loved to play tennis, dance (she more than he), and snow ski.
