COMING IN HARDCOVER FROM

MARY PIPHER

SEEKING PEACE:

Chronicles of the Worst Buddhist in the World

In this thoughtful and inspiring memoir, the author of the
New York Times
bestsellers
Reviving Ophelia, The Shelter of Each Other,
and
Another Country
explores her personal search for understanding, tranquility, and respect through her work as a psychologist and writer.

“There are three kinds of secrets. Those we keep from everyone, those we keep from certain people, and those we keep from ourselves. Writing this book forced me to deal with all three.”

—from SEEKING PEACE
