From the Publisher
Not since Way of the Peaceful Warrior has a story been told with such adventure and suspense, together with the power to enlarge the reader's understanding of life. Awakening Curry Buckle is a compelling, moving, and hilarious novel to be read and discussed by teens, parents, and teachers.
From the Author
Although not apparent in the book, my inspiration for writing Awakening Curry Buckle came when contemplating the Chinese Communist invasion of Tibet. For thousands of years these Himalayan caves and monasteries had been home to saintly lamas (priests) and their devout followers. In the ensuing occupation the Chinese destroyed ancient temples by the hundreds, tortured and executed thousands of lamas, desecrated their religious and cultural iconsâ€"including use of sacred manuscripts for toilet paperâ€"and continue to suppress and eradicate Tibetan cultures to this day.
From my deep revulsion and horror came the thought that perhaps the time had come for the embers of soul-knowledge, long kept glowing in the craggy Himalayas, to be spread into the world at large. What if the brutality of the invaders is, on a deeper level, fanning the flames of world brotherhood?
And what if one of the murdered lamas happened to be reborn on a rural Northwest island?
