Tree of Life: Tales of a Traveling Woman in India 1971-1974 and 1979-1983

In 1971, Teresa, heartbroken and directionless, with no money, no plan, and no safety net, joined an overland caravan to India. She left them in Kabul, and traveling alone, disappeared into India. What followed was years of adventure, danger, transformation, and through it all, boundless joy that would change her forever.

Her friends ranged from penniless Westerners and wandering travelers of many nationalities to mountain men and village families. She experienced joyous adventures and brushes with death, illness, and hunger, from the world's highest mountains to beautiful seaside villages in Goa and crowded cities.

This is not a sanitized memoir. It's the real story of a Western woman's life in India during the 1970s and early 80s--a woman who lived fully, fearlessly, and embraced every opportunity. Her unforgettable personal stories tell of her quest to experience life at its fullest, to learn who she was and who she wasn't.
