About the book

"An idealist sets out to save the world and barely manages to save himself. His Peace Corps mission transmutes into a quest for the Truth and ends with an excursion into insanity. India's earth-goddess mythology unravels his American, sky-god belief system. It doesn't matter whether we believe our systems or not, they inform our outlooks regardless. Nothing says it better than this tale. The author began as an unbeliever, and was undone by themes from his own religious tradition anyway."--Page 4 of cover.
