by Roland MerulloThis is the story of a happily married father with two teenage children who mean the world to him. He has that upper-middle class life that is considered an American success story yet he can't shake an intermittent nagging feeling that there is something missing.
His parents, the dutiful Protestants from North Dakota, are killed in a car crash and now he and his sister not only must sort out the estate but their emotion. Sister is a free spirit who practices regression therapy and does not like to fly. He proposes a car trip from the East Coast to North Dakota. She accepts. Yet when he arrives, it's not her who comes on the journey. It's Volya Rinpoche, the spiritual master who his sister is giving her portion of the land to.
Brother's first reaction to this arrangement is anger but slowly he opens up to what Rinpoche has to say and show him.
General consensus: Absolutely beautiful. Moves like a river.
