Synopsis

From Mud to Lotus: I Meant to Behave, but There Were Too Many Other Options

By: Dr. Pratibha Eastwood

"From Mud into Lotus is a real page-turner that takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of such epic proportions that one almost forgets it's not fiction. A great read that is reminiscent of the lineage of Anais Nin, it champions tireless and daring explorations of what it means to be culturally, spiritually, and sexually free."

- Sunny Massad, author of Untherapy

"This book will draw you in from the beginning. An insecure, fearful, lonely and neglected child in the mud of Israel becomes a hippie in America, a PhD in psychology, a sannyasin (seeker) in India. She experiments with drugs and therapies and ends up with Osho Rajneesh for a while. From that commune, her adventures take her all over Asia, to the Himalayas, Australia, and back the US. In the end, she comes full circle to reconcile with her estranged parents, having grown into a lotus blossom blessed with Freedom, Trust, and Forgiveness. A great read!"

- Roshani Shay Curtis, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Western Oregon University

"Powerful and thought-provoking. . . .Pratibha's nuanced, richly descriptive writing introduced me to places and faces I'll never forget. Such a vividly engaging story. It touched me deeply."

- Lizbeth Hartz, author of Angel Hero: Murder in Hawai'i: A True Story
