Years earlier, Malcolm had been given 13 private notebooks written by his troubled grandfather. But the notebooks were stolen while Malcolm was in prison. The page Anna leaves behind is from one of the notebooks written by Malcolm’s grandfather. That single page provides the first clue to the mysterious disappearance of the notebooks. But when Anna tries to help, she finds herself up against Mortim Rimpoche, the paranoid spiritual leader of Whole River Systems. Her youth and naïveté collide with his unmerciful narcissism, creating a near fatal showdown.
