Description
When his sister tricks him into taking her guru on a road trip to their childhood home, Otto Ringling is less than thrilled. However, six days with an enigmatic holy man who answers every question with a riddle proves to be a far more interesting journey than he anticipated.
In an effort to westernize his passenger and amuse himself, Otto shows the monk some "American fun" along the way, visiting places like chocolate factories, bowling alleys, and baseball stadiums. As they travel, Otto begins to see his world - and his life - through someone else's eyes, leading to a gradual shift from skepticism to amazement.
With wry humor and wonder, Otto tells his story of unexpected discovery in this masterful tale that explores the power of new perspectives and the search for meaning.
