A wonderfully written memoir of a trained clinical psychologist, who gave into her emptiness and sought out the answer to her own yearning from within. Reading this story is just amazing tale of a woman's journey from traditional medicine into the realm of the sacred healing practices of the Andeans. Expressing and sharing to the world what that journey entailed and where it ultimately lead her.
There is some debate if she is fictionalizing her experience in order to develop a vast business.  Whether it is part fiction, part truth or none of the above it doesn't really matter.  The book is worth reading because it gives us the opportunity to tap into that part of ourselves.  To allow our minds to expand and think about other possiblities.
