During her years as an actor, a writer, an adventuress, a nonbeliever, and a seeker of truth and amusement, Nevada Barr has been cursed and blessed with the question of "Why?" Although the things she wanted to know were mostly in the realm of the unknowable, she sought answers through reading, thinking, and talking -- looking outward for signs and truths. But she found that while her quest for meaning provided inspiration, it afforded little in the way of proof. Then she began to look inward for answers. In the beguiling story of her journey from arrogance and atheism toward humility and a sense of being part of something greater than herself, Barr leads readers down her path to enlightenment.
