A Phoenix woman is bored and unfulfilled with her mainstream middle class American life which has included working as a lawyer, teacher, banker, and realtor. Walking away and disposing of all belongings except what fit in 13 boxes, the 58-year old heads to India in search of a more meaningful existence. Journals maintained during a 5-month odyssey of travel through north and south India depict the cacophony, yet serenity, of the amazing country. One feels as if walking beside the author through both challenging and the exciting moments.
