Palmetto Publishing releases memoir by Betsy Cooksey on Mongolian horseback expeditions
Palmetto Publishing has published a new memoir by Betsy Cooksey, detailing a series of horseback expeditions through Mongolia undertaken over seven years.
Charleston-based Palmetto Publishing has released Lost and Found in Mongolia: One Woman's Journey into the Wilderness. The book, authored by Betsy Cooksey with collaborator Andrea Cagan, chronicles the writer's experiences during a seven-year period of charitable horseback travel in remote Mongolia.
The memoir follows Cooksey’s transition from a 65-year-old living in isolation while managing a chronic illness to an active participant in wilderness expeditions. The text explores the physical and mental hurdles encountered during these journeys, focusing on themes of recovery, service, and personal resilience in later life.
Publishing industry trends show a consistent interest in midlife and later-life narratives, particularly those detailing unconventional travel experiences. The book is currently available for purchase through major online retailers.
