Based on the real life of Edith Warner, who ran a tearoom at Otowi Crossing, just below Los Alamos, The Woman at Otowi Crossing is the story of Helen Chalmer, a person in tune with her adopted environment and her neighbors in the nearby Indian pueblo and also a friend of the first atomic scientists. The secret evolution of atomic research is a counterpoint to her psychic development.

In keeping with its tradition of allowing the best of its list to thrive, Ohio University Press/Swallow Press is particularly proud to reissue The Woman at Otowi Crossing by best-selling author Frank Waters. This new edition features an introduction by Professor Thomas J. Lyon and a foreword by the author's widow, Barbara Waters.

The story is quintessential Waters: a parable for the potentially destructive materialism of the mid-twentieth century. The antidote is Helen Chalmer's ability to understand a deeper truth of her being; beyond the Western notion of selfhood, beyond the sense of a personality distinct from the rest, she experiences a new and wider awareness.

The basis for an opera of the same name, The Woman at Otowi Crossing is the powerful story of the crossing of cultures and lives: a fable for our times.

Light weight
Light weight and thin. It is nice for 40-60 degree weather, but anything cooler you would want to consider a thicker cashmere. Fit is oversized. I didn’t like the color brown I chose—it’s more red tone—I would go with a more natural tone next purchase. Would purchase again and for a gift.

Perfect size
Color: Knot Gold, Color: Knot Gold
Beautiful high quality earrings! Not as heavy as I thought they would be given the size/design. Super comfortable and fashion forward. The color of the gold is closer to 21k rather than 18k (if you care about the yellowness). Either way, they're gorgeous! In the picture, the top necklace is 18k, the bottom is 21k for comparison.

Great
Color: Knot Gold
Love! Comfy, cute, perfect weight and size. Great quality. I noticed a lot of reviews mention the backs and while I think they’re comfortable, they don’t feel super secure to me and I might use different ones
