Karme, by Richard Mitchell, is a story that surrounds a girl by the name of Karme is who raised in isolation.  Her mother keeps her from the rest of the world, telling her that she is not human and that she should stay hidden.  Karme lives in a tree house out in the swamps in Florida.  Brant was a football hero who drops out of highschool.  Things start looking out for Brant when he marries the daughter of an important man within the town.  Karme is discovered by Brant at the swamp she lives at, while he is out fishing.  Brant encourages Karme to come out into the world and to mingle amongst others.Though different, I had a bit of a hard time getting through the story.  I feel like Karme's character was lacking more explination.  There are several mentions of her not being human, as well as different abilities, but there is no hint as to what she is.  The storey was far from bad, but I would have liked there to be a little more depth to it.
