Description

<p>Dr. Bethany McNeal is living her dream as a pediatric resident in one of the most sought-after medical centers in Seattle. Beautiful and intelligent, she’s missing only one thing—love, which she put on hold to focus on her career after ending a tumultuous relationship. Everything changes when she meets Dr. Brent Anderson, a charming and handsome fellow resident. Despite her reservations, Bethany falls for Brent—hard. When she learns Brent is married several months into their relationship, she immediately breaks it off. After graduating residency and going their separate ways, Bethany tries to move on with another man—real estate broker and personal trainer Charles Blakely. But just when things get serious with Charles, she realizes she’s still in love with Brent, and she finds herself caught between the two men, facing a series of difficult decisions and harrowing events that will change her life forever. Will she be able to recover from the vital temptations that turned her perfect life upside down?</p>

Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<p align="justify">A delightful and ingenuous autobiography of a modern day Chod master, who practices the very rare Zhije as well as Chod. Though living the traditional lifestyle of a wandering yogin in modern-day Tibet, it may turn out that these ancient, exotic practices are perfectly relevant right now.<br /> -<strong>Sarah Harding</strong>, author of <em>Machik's Complete Explanation</em>.</p> <p align="justify">Lama Wangdu's vivid descripion of pilgrimage to 108 cremation grounds, and his teacher's interpretation of his experiences, take us into a world where each experience is seen symbolically, as it arises. His selfless compassion and profound faith epitomizes the lineage of Machig Labdron and Dampa Sangye.<br /> -<strong>Tsultrim Allione</strong>, author of <em>Feeding Your Demons</em> and <em>Women of Wisdom</em>.</p> <p align="justify">A mesmerizing portrait of a well-known master who grew up a devout student and ascetic yogi in a society of onderment and intrigue in Southern Tibet. The essence of the book is the spell-binding descriptions of his ever-giving love and service to all, rich or poor, as a Buddhist teacher and healer.<br /> -<strong>Tulku Thondup Rinpoche</strong>, author of <em>The Healing Power of Mind</em> and <em>Peaceful Death, Joyful Rebirth</em>.</p> <p align="justify">The Chod, Dzogchen yogas and pilgrimage that Lama Wangdu alludes to are at the root of existential Buddhism. They deserve immediate attention from everyone concerned with their ultimate spiritual health.<br /> -<strong>Keith Dowman</strong>, author of <em>Sky Dancer</em> and <em>Flight of the Garuda. </em></p>
