Through the many twists and turns of her life-including a tangled relationship with a charlatan-guru, her unexpected connection with the great Christian mystics, and the loss of her daughter-Mirabai finds the courage to remain open and defenseless before the mystery of the divine. “Tragedy and trauma are not guarantees for a transformational spiritual experience,” writes Mirabai Starr, “but they are opportunities. They are invitations to sit in the fire and allow it to transfigure us.”

“Caravan of No Despair is a shimmering offering from a heart that’sbeen broken open by life and death. The holiness that tears through these pagesdoesn’t come from a mountaintop, lofty ideas, or a meditation cushion, butinstead from revealing the almost unbearable joy and pain of being whollyhuman. Baring her all, Mirabai gifts us with a darkly luminous love story andwe are forever changed as a result.”
