Letters home detail the life, travels, and studies of a young artist immersing herself in Eastern spiritual and artistic traditions during the late 60s and early 70s. Before the Internet, texting, and social media were ubiquituous, Stablein travels through India, Nepal, and Tibet on a journey from girlhood to adulthood and eventually motherhood.

Today, when K-K-K-Katmandu has been on the travel itinerary of a million trekkers and climbers, and the Dalai Lama, Dharamsala and Buddhism are on every traveler’s consciousness, it’s wonderful to remember an era when even an overseas flight was something to be planned, talked about, and anticipated for months in advance, a trip could easily stretch from weeks to months to years and everything was a total surprise. —Tony Wheeler, co-founder of Lonely Planet Publications
