Emergence, Paperback

Emergence is the story of six women and a young girl who go on an overnight cave trip into Dragon's Den, a Virginia cave full of delicate formations, sinuous underground passages, and a 100-foot waterfall to a lower-level stream passage. Danielle and Nicole are the trip leaders. Accompanying them are Sydney, who is also an experienced caver; three who are going caving for the first time: Gabby, photographer; Lynne, mother of three; Melissa, nature lover; and finally Kate, Danielle's daughter, a veteran caver eight years old. After they drop the waterfall pit, three young men enter the cave and cause a rock slide that traps the women in the lower level of the cave. This fast-moving story is about their struggle to escape the cave and to find themselves. The book is illustrated by the author, Marian McConnell.
