It concerns a young woman named Evelyn who starts out from her home and keeps going. A simple concept but the author includes all the steps it takes to make it through each day. In that way it provokes thinking about how we each live our lives. At one point she becomes pregnant and when her son is older some men come to her house and tell her that her son has been determined to be part of a line of lamas. This meant he would have to go to Nepal and live in a monastery with other monks to study for his life.
Evelyn must make a decision whether to take him there or not.

The writing is very direct but it is very peaceful to read. The story is somewhat simple but includes many things that can happen in life so I liked that aspect. The scenes pass from one place to another with no real agenda but this reflects the thinking of Evelyn which is quite focused. I liked this book very much.
