The author, traveling in India at the age of 22, gave away her possessions and became a sadhu, a spiritual wandering beggar. This coming-of-age memoir, complete with sex, drugs, and spiritual yearning, describes the British junkie who inspired her decision; her attempts to break into the sadhu scene in the holy city of Benares; the villagers of rural India who offered food and shelter; and the hard lessons earned by a middle-class American girl.
