Publisher's Synopsis
A Journey with Elsa Cloud starts when Leila, the engaging narrator, receives a call from an estranged daughter who, while living in the East, has become a student of Buddhism. Leila flies to India, and together mother and daughter travel through the subcontinent on an interior and exsterior journey toward understanding culminating in a visit with the Dalai Lama.
This moving mother and daughter story is enlivened by richly textured descriptions and lyrical prose.
