Holy Cow! An Indian Adventure

A rollercoaster ride through a land of chaos and contradiction with a woman on a mission to save her soul, her love life, and her sanity. After backpacking her way around India, Sarah Macdonald decides she hates the country with a passion. When a beggar reads her palm and insists she will one day return—and for love—she screams 'Never!' But twelve years later, the prophecy comes true.

When the love of her life is posted to India, Sarah follows him to the most polluted city on earth, New Delhi. It seems like the ultimate sacrifice for love, and it almost kills her—literally. After being cursed by a naked sadhu smeared in human ashes, Sarah almost dies from double pneumonia. This near-death experience forces her to confront some serious questions about her fragile mortality and inner spiritual void—not to mention some unsightly hair loss.

It's enough to send a rapidly balding atheist on a wild rollercoaster ride through India in search of the meaning of life and death. With the help of the Dalai Lama, a goddess of healing hugs, and a couple of Bollywood stars—among many, many others—Sarah discovers a hell of a lot more.

Holy Cow! An Indian Adventure by Sarah Macdonald is an enlightening and entertaining exploration into the depths of Indian spirituality and self-discovery.
