The World is my Mistress (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781881717744)

A young Brazilian woman embarks on a journey of self-discovery after she reads Siddhartha on the beach at Cabo Frio and awakens to her true purpose in life. Eventually her search for a teacher who can guide her in her quest leads her to a charismatic yogic monk who inspires her to become his translator and assistant -- with unforeseen consequences. This is a story for anyone who wishes to discover the essence of who they truly are, who is determined to deepen their love affair with the world, who knows that stories do indeed hold a mirror up to life in which we can sometimes catch a glimpse of our deeper selves, the one we are all journeying toward in a way that is both unique and universal.
