Summary
"Jasmine is a cancer specialist and single mother in Seattle, long estranged from her Iranian parents and heritage. When faced with the sudden accidental death of Aria, her five-year-old daughter, she finds little solace in the healing advice she's prescribed to her patients and their families. Lacking spiritual scaffolding or comforting rituals to cope, Jasmine abandons her life in exchange for a one-way ticket around the world. This novel is the record of Jasmine's search to find meaning. Hers is a journey inward - she writes unsent letters to her three greatest loves, all now dead, as she reconnects with the fundamental elements of life. It is only when Jasmine, this modern American woman, connects with her ancient heritage that she can heal."--BOOK JACKET.
