Kate Wheeler's stories feature peripatetic Americans who seek love or enlightenment - or both - in far-flung corners of the globe. A startling mixture of gentle irony, mischievous humor, and unexpected danger marks the paths of all these characters as they follow their circuitous routes toward happiness. As the New York Times said, "Wheeler has a capacity for compressing the insights of cross-cultural dislocation into deliciously memorable epiphanies."

There is the American who becomes a nun in Burma only to find the chasm between her culture and the monastery too difficult to bridge. The woman in Buenos Aires who lives a life so mundane, she takes French lessons and conjures up a secret life. Wheeler's characters are each unique; priceless individual gems which shine in their own right.
Traveling the globe, they each seek home, their own sense of place. Each is a treasure, meant to be savored. Recommended for short story fans.
