Incest denial and sexual assaults disrupt a young woman's solo spiritual quest and her two romantic adventures in India in 1990-91. Two decades later, after profound healing, she's resilient at mid-life. Finding the love and intimacy she craves, she can, at last, forgive her dying father-and her mom, for her decades of silence.
