My memoir is an accumulation of wisdom and guidance wrapped up in the compelling story of my overland rite of passage to India with nothing but a knapsack and an eagerness to find my raison d'être. By being transported to unfamiliar terrain; a time in the past, in parts of the world rarely explored, the reader becomes a witness to appreciating sacredness by being present in the moment, honoring and experiencing feelings, finding meaning in life, and resolving past psychological injuries.
