When Cindy Rasicot moves to Thailand with her husband and teenage son, she finds herself adrift in a foreign culture, unprepared for the challenges she encounters there. On an impulse she signs up for a conference where she meets Venerable Dhammananda Bhikkhuni, a Thai Buddhist nun, who leads her on a spiritual journey from which there is no turning back.
Finding Venerable Mother is Cindy’s journey of physical, emotional, and spiritual healing through her loving connection with a Thai Buddhist teacher who fully accepts and nurtures her in a way her own mother never did. Set against a backdrop of glittering Thai Buddhist Temples and the friendly smiles of the Thai people, this compelling memoir reminds readers that when we go forward with a truly open heart, faith, forgiveness, and love are all possible.
