For Lucy Jane Bledsoe, wilderness had always been a source of peace. But during one disastrous solo trip in the wintry High Sierra she came face to face with a crisis: the wilderness no longer felt like home. The Ice Cave recounts Bledsoe’s wilderness journeys as she recovers her connection with the wild and discovers the meanings of fear and grace. These are Bledsoe’s gripping tales of fending off wolves in Alaska, encountering UFOs in the Colorado Desert, and searching for mountain lions in Berkeley. Her memorable story “The Breath of Seals” takes readers to Antarctica, the wildest continent on earth, where she camped out with geologists, biologists, and astrophysicists. These fresh and deeply personal narratives remind us what it means to be simply one member of one species, trying to find food and shelter—and moments of grace—on our planet.

Deep within the recesses of an antique and almost forgotten cafe, one can find a signboard with faded letters reading "Lucy's Magic Cafe." The display cabinet boasts a bounty of mouth-watering cakes and pastries, but the cafe appears to be deserted. That is because Lucy, a witch who has been exiled for her past misbehavior, operates the cafe in secret. She bakes as if there were hordes of hungry customers to serve. However, Lucy's solitary existence is interrupted one day when a girl sporting a bright yellow umbrella appears before her. Lucy is amazed that a human has found her, unaware that the curse that has been weighing her down has been lifted. The shock of this sudden change overwhelms her, but she is lucky enough to find a friend to guide her through this new world. Despite the support of her new companion, Lucy cannot shake the feelings of restlessness and guilt that plague her. She is haunted by the memory of her Faeln friends, whom she betrayed in her past. With a heavy heart, she decides to return to Magiaplana, the magical world where her friends reside, to make amends for her misdeeds. However, her past mistakes continue to haunt her, and she must work tirelessly to regain the trust she has lost. Will Lucy be able to mend what she has broken and begin anew? Join her on her journey of self-discovery and redemption in Lucy's Magic Cafe Open.
