A Memoir of Seven Years in India and Nepal

First Place Award Writer's Digest, Gold Medal Award Independent Publishers

After years as a math instructor in the American Midwest, Brother Jim, along with three companions, is sent to India as head of the group to establish a branch of their religious order there. Struggling with challenges from an uncooperative government, inept local bishops, and the vagaries of a complex culture, Brother Jim nevertheless discovers both the charm of the Indian subcontinent and what is important to his soul.

Ultimately, he must choose between his decades-long faith and his growing realization that he no longer needs the confines of religion.

Walk the backstreets of Delhi and Kathmandu and the hallways of a religious house in this most unusual memoir set in the 80s.

From reader reviews:

Riveting Light humor and deep wisdom A poignant and often amusing true adventure story Could not put it down A gifted storyteller A cinema-like realism Explodes with the tastes, sounds, smells of India A coming of age story for any age and any soul
