Publisher's Summary
The author of Breakfast with Buddha brings his characteristic whimsy
to a new novel about New York book editor Otto Ringling and Mongolian
monk Volya Rinpoche, who embark on a road trip from Rinpoche's meditation
center in North Dakota to the glitter and glitz of the Las Vegas strip.
What prompts the trip is Otto's recently altered life, having lost first
his wife then his job, and then seeing both his children leave home
for lives of their own. With Rinpoche's guidance, he hopes to find a
new meaning in his life and a new direction. But what begins as a quietly
contemplative journey becomes much more as the two men travel through
the heart of the American Midwest, witnessing the decimated lives of
so many American natives and giving Otto new perspective on the trials
he is experiencing in his own life.
Along with these inner awakenings for Otto, there is also a very real
hint of menace in the novel, as men show up who may be looking to make
sure that the world never knows of the existence of Shelsa, the eight-year-old
daughter of Rinpoche and Otto's sister, Cecilia. Shelsa has consistently
shown that she has the markings and the instincts of a spiritual leader,
leading to speculation that she may be the new Dalai Lama.
