Jessie has always been apilgrim. Its just that directions havenot always been so clear. At first shethought the destination lay in societys council. Her dresses must be ever clean, her mannersstrictly controlled. But even with thebest of intentions, a road that narrow cannot contain the romanticism of youth,the pain of a mothers love, the restlessness of a creative mind and theultimate longing for something a bit deeper.Meet a woman striving forspirituality in a world of laundry and bills, where grief and heartache drop inunannounced and societys myth of perfection shatters under the stress ofcommon circumstance. The demons shebattles are as familiar as a meddling mother-in-law or dominating husband, asexotic as vague prophecy or ancient curse, and as immobilizing as nationalterror. Fortunately, hers is also aworld of unlikely angels, where a tea-sipping Navy wife, a piano teacher in arocking chair or even an ex-Nazi official might help light the way.This womans story makes it clearthat the spiritual path does not have to lead through a chapel or temple, or upto the Himalayas. For todays seeker, its time to improvise. Jessie is a female Siddhartha of a modernworld, where enlightenment is as unpredictable as love and life in afast-changing world of travel and technology.
