Publisher's Summary

After a lifetime of metaphysical study and practice, a journalist joins a diverse community of joyful spiritual pioneers in a remote British Columbia valley. There, she, her family, and her neighbors explore the down-to-earth application of the Bhagavad-gita's profound and beautiful teachings. Along with comic and cosmic challenges, these daring individuals harvest the Gita's rich and relevant guidance - guidance suited for any time, place, and circumstance.  

"A marvelous job...an inspirational memoir and a pleasant reminder that there is a spiritual side to our existence." (Five-star review, Susan Sewell for Readers' Favorite)                         

"In the morning, I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonical philosophy of the Bhagavad-gita in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial." (Henry David Thoreau, American poet, philosopher, and naturalist)  

"Bhagavad-Gita is one of the most beautiful and profound texts of world literature." (Octavio Paz, Mexican poet and diplomat; Nobel Prize in Literature)  

"That the spiritual man need not be a recluse, that union with the divine Life may be achieved and maintained in the midst of worldly affairs, that the obstacles to that union lie not outside us but within us - such is the central lesson of the Bhagavad-gita." (Annie Besant, British socialist, theosophist, activist, writer, and orator)

"Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meanings from it every day." (Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi)

Captivating and beautifully profound!

I loved this true story about a former atheist turned devotee who moves with her husband and daughter to a tiny off grid village. Artfully woven with personal anecdotes, humor, famous quotes, as well as her realizations about the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad gita, the author/narrator provokes a deep inquiry into ourselves, life and our relationship with God. This story is a rare and unique revealing of a path less travelled, a sincere and moving account of the real fulfillment that is available to us all.
