Ms Molly Kate Brown

Award winning author Molly Kate Brown knew she had a story to tell when she found herself lying in a hospital bed in Mumbai, alone, unable to walk. Learning to Walk in India: A Love Story-- first place winner of CIPA's 2016 EVVY award--is a true tale of love, loss, and the power of the human spirit.

Unraveling and alone in India, newlywed Molly Brown is forced to traverse her inner landscape with new eyes while navigating a culture so different from her own in Boulder, Colorado. When a life-altering illness brings her to her knees at age thirty-two, Molly’s long-held dream to travel solo through India is shattered, giving way to a journey of another kind. Set against the vivid sensuality of India’s sounds, colors, smells, and nuanced contours, Learning to Walk in India is a true tale of love, loss, friendship, and the power of the human spirit. Told with unflinching honesty, Molly’s raw and often humorous account takes us on her wild, unforgettable ride as she surrenders to India, to her herself, and ultimately to the unknown as she learns to walk again.

"Although the book is in part an evocative travelogue, the bulk of the text is devoted to Brown’s personal physical, emotional, and spiritual journey … a touching chronicle peppered with humor and raw honesty…an often inspiring account that should find a solid fan base, especially among those interested in the teachings of mindfulness."
