Sobre IBD

Jessie has always been apilgrim. It’s just that directions havenot always been so clear. At first shethought the destination lay in society’s 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 mother’s 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 society’s 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 woman’s story makes it clearthat the spiritual path does not have to lead through a chapel or temple, or upto the Himalayas. For today’s seeker, it’s 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.
