Barbara Scoblic is a New York City-based author. She was raised on a small farm in South Dakota. From earliest childhood she was alert to the beauties and vagaries of the natural world. Concurrent with that appreciation, she grappled with a growing impatience to see what was beyond the farm.
Her drive to break free took her first to Thailand where, as a Peace Corps volunteer she was the sole westerner in a small town. Then on an exhilarating trip with a fellow volunteer, she traveled throughout Asia, the Middle East, and then on to Greece.
Throughout her travels, she always carried her portable typewriter. At night she wrote letters, articles, and poems. Back in the states she described her experiences in a series for the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
"Lost Without the River" is Ms. Scoblic’s first memoir.
