Gerry Aarons has found out a terrible secret about the father she has never known that sends her life along a self-destructive path. She and her mother are locked in a damaging war of wills. And it is Adigar, the visiting monk from Sri Lanka, who finally helps Gerry to understand her troubled life in a different light.
Shivas Dance is a thought-provoking read about the pain of secrets, and the way they alienate us from others: and doesn’t allow safe exploration: and the need to find some kind of spiritual perspective to help us make sense of our lives.
