'A deeply personal investigation took China Galland from New Mexico through Nepal, India, Switzerland, France, Yugoslavia, and Poland--places where gods like Tara, the female Buddha of the Tibetan tradition, and the Black Madonna are venerated today. In this fascinating account, Galland vividly describes her journey, which combined tireless research with intrigue, meditation, and sensual experience.'
