What happens when the son of Holocaust survivors drops LSD in 1960s New York and begins searching for God?
In Sipping Sunlight, Bernard Ross tells the true story of a restless seeker who chased enlightenment through psychedelics, communes, India, and three marriages, only to discover that grace had been guiding him all along.
Raised by parents who survived the Holocaust and fought for a visa to America, Ross grew up carrying inherited trauma and a hunger for meaning. When a mysterious spiritual woman predicts his future, he plunges headfirst into the psychedelic underground of the Lower East Side, eventually living at Timothy Leary's famed Millbrook estate.
From building a cabin in a remote Canadian commune, to surviving arrests and a near-fatal encounter with a grizzly bear, to studying at an ashram in India in search of enlightenment,
Ross pushes every boundary in his quest to understand life, love, and God.
Yet, beneath the wild adventures lies a deeper story:
A son trying to honor his parents' survival.
A man struggling to reconcile freedom with responsibility.
A seeker discovering that truth cannot be manufactured-even with LSD.
Through profound spiritual experiences, heartbreak, entrepreneurial success, and hard-earned wisdom, Sipping Sunlight reveals how grace often works quietly beneath chaos-and how the search for meaning sometimes leads us exactly where we were meant to be.
- Perfect for readers who love spiritual memoirs, redemption journeys, and true stories of transformation.
- For anyone who has ever questioned everything... and kept searching.
[An] engaging story of a seeker on the path of enlightenment. - Kirkus Reviews
If you believe your life has twists that make no sense-
If you've ever chased meaning in all the wrong places-
If you've wondered whether grace might be guiding you...
This memoir will stay with you long after the final page.
