"Massive news about Guruji. Call me now!"

Janelle Logan has a wonderful life in her adopted New York City with a fantastic job, great friends, and treasured spiritual practices of yoga, mindfulness, and meditation.

But her life is upended when her beloved guru is accused of sexual assault. Janelle struggles with what that means for herself and her community of spiritually seeking girlfriends, especially when work problems add to her woes. When her cousin comes to visit for the summer, she's also pressed to reassess her Jewish heritage.

Rather than run from her spirituality, Janelle doubles down, adding energy work, Jewish meditation, and even examining the nature of forgiveness itself. Will all this be enough to bring her the community and clarity she desperately desires?

Like Landau's other standalone yoga novels with a mindfulness/yoga fiction theme, Janelle's story is relatable to anyone trying to stay on a yoga and spiritual path when life throws its ongoing curveballs.

Themes of women's friendships, community, office politics, and even a search for Janelle's Jewish roots and heritage enhance the overall plot of how yoga, mindfulness, and honesty pave the way to emotional healing--all in a light women's fiction read to enjoy at the beach, or anywhere.

This novel is an especially great read for book clubs focused on women's novels, yoga books, or Jewish fiction.

It's also a great gift for women who love yoga, by itself or in combination with all Landau's other stand-alone yoga novels, Downward Dog, Upward Fog, and Warrior Won.
