View Rights PortalDena Moes, her husband, and their preteen daughters shouldered backpacks and walked away from their American life to criss-cross India and Nepal for eight months. Their journey led them to His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the tree where the Buddha sat, and Amma the Divine Mother. From the banks of the Ganges to the Himalayan roof of the world, this enthralling memoir is an unforgettable odyssey, a moving meditation on motherhood and marriage, and a spiritual quest, written with humor and honesty—and filled with love and awe.
