Love Changes Things, Even in the World of Politics 

In the summer of 1983, Caroline was "struck by lightning," a physical event with a message: develop a relationship with Al Gore, Jr., then a US congressman, for the purpose of ending the threat of nuclear war. Uncertain what would be required of her, Caroline wrote a letter to Rep. Gore, the beginning of a journey that involved meetings, phone calls, a speech to the United Nations, and much more. Guided by love and her dreams, she worked with Members of Congress to change the course of history. 

In an era when the US and Soviet Union had 50,000 nuclear weapons between them, love changed what seemed impossible to change: the escalating nuclear arms race. An astonishing, yet true, story.

Asylum (published by Main Street Rag)

Elegant, restrained poems describe the landscape of West Tennessee and follow the poet’s family from sharecropping on the Mississippi flood plain to Texas and California, as her mother, her sister, and the poet herself struggle to overcome a pattern of generational abuse. 

The poems provide an extraordinary portrait of a survivor, showing some of the many ways abuse can affect one's life and how it can be healed. 

Books by author and poet Caroline Cottom offer inspiration and spiritual guidance on how to live more at peace.
