A Deeply Moving 1998 Travel Memoir of a Mother-Daughter Pilgrimage Through India and Nepal

Traveling through ancient temple cities, ashrams, and Himalayan valleys, Hadley records the intense emotional terrain of mother-daughter reconciliation alongside physical journeys.

Her prose weaves vivid descriptions of Hindu and Buddhist sacred sites with reflections on family history, forgiveness, aging, and the quiet power of shared travel.

Why You’ll Love This Book
