This is the story of the author's pilgrimage across America to find a spirituality that she, a faithless and spiritually bereft babyboomer, might be able to adpot. Along the way, she encounters young women who have embraced "outsider traditions", including Buddhism, Wicca, Yoga, Sufism, Shamanism and Voodoo. Temporarily, she joins each of them, a spiritual nomad, seeking that faith which, in one way or another is the backdrop to life.
