"Nedd Willard's engaging adventure of discovery describes his inner travels from his early boyhood in New York to the outer reaches of a wider world. His "on the road" travels eventually lead him back to one of his first and most enduring loves, the sea, his gateway to a world of unknowns and expectations-some realized and some not." Schlein "Nothing in this generally breezy romp through India prepares the reader for the sad, shocking end. Nedd Willard's snapshot narratives of Indian life, culture and religious traditions that segregate the haves from the have-nots." Marc Tully
