COMING IN HARDCOVER FROM
MARY PIPHER
SEEKING PEACE:
Chronicles of the Worst Buddhist in the World
In this thoughtful and inspiring memoir, the author of the New York Times bestsellers Reviving Ophelia, The Shelter of Each Other, and Another Country explores her personal search for understanding, tranquility, and respect through her work as a psychologist and writer.
“There are three kinds of secrets. Those we keep from everyone, those we keep from certain people, and those we keep from ourselves. Writing this book forced me to deal with all three.”
