A true story of conflict, compassion, self-discovery, love, and loss. At forty-three years old, Laurie Jacobson found herself trapped in a painful marriage and thought her life was over. The man she once loved and admired had devolved into an abusive husband who embraced anti-Semitic rhetoric. His cruel insults, blistering criticisms, and controlling behavior eventually crushed her spirit, destroyed her self-worth, and plunged her into depression. To make matters worse, she happened to be Jewish. Isolated in a ramshackle rented farmhouse in the rural Pennsylvania mountains, desperate for a solution to escape her emotional pain, Laurie decides to attend a weeklong silent retreat at a Buddhist monastery. The Buddha's path promised an end to suffering, and she was hoping for a miracle. After countless hours of silent meditation and a string of inexplicable coincidences, Laurie experiences blissful shifts in consciousness, and is astonished by visions of otherworldly beings. But when an immobilizing snowstorm prolongs her stay at the monastery, the unexpected happens. Afterward, seemingly magical events, coupled with the kindness and wisdom of Charles, the monastery cook, transforms her life in ways she never dreamed possible.
