O knihe
Jessie has always been a
pilgrim. It's just that directions have
not always been so clear. At first she
thought the destination lay in society's council. Her dresses must be ever clean, her manners
strictly controlled. But even with the
best of intentions, a road that narrow cannot contain the romanticism of youth,
the pain of a mother's love, the restlessness of a creative mind and the
ultimate longing for something a bit deeper.
Meet a woman striving for
spirituality in a world of laundry and bills, where grief and heartache drop in
unannounced and society's myth of perfection shatters under the stress of
common circumstance. The demons she
battles are as familiar as a meddling mother-in-law or dominating husband, as
exotic as vague prophecy or ancient curse, and as immobilizing as national
terror. Fortunately, hers is also a
world of unlikely angels, where a tea-sipping Navy wife, a piano teacher in a
rocking chair or even an ex-Nazi official might help light the way.
This woman's story makes it clear
that the spiritual path does not have to lead through a chapel or temple, or up
to the Himalayas.
For today's seeker, it's time to improvise. Jessie is a female Siddhartha of a modern
world, where enlightenment is as unpredictable as love and life in a
fast-changing world of travel and technology.
