Winner of a 2010 Independent Publisher Award for Humor! One part deeply personal memoir and two parts rip-snorting spiritual adventure, Long Time No See is a powerfully moving, occasionally profane, and often hilarious account of one person's single-minded search for enlightenment. Carrie Triffet's true-life journey takes her from reluctant orthodox Jewish beginnings into a devout twenty-year practice of Nichiren Buddhism. Intending to remain a Buddhist for life, she is wholly unprepared when a profound awakening in 2005 unexpectedly changes everything, leading her insistently into a life beyond religion. Join her on this odyssey that begins in the Midwest and travels to sunny Southern California by way of London, Paris, and the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona. Learn the metaphysical lessons offered by a swanky Vegas hotel room, a past life crime scene, and a ferocious lightning storm at 30,000 feet (among many others), as Carrie relays the messages of universal truth that she is given to share with us all.
Review:
Using plain, everyday language, Long Time No See clearly illuminates the principles of A Course in Miracles as they apply to everyday life. A genuinely helpful and interesting book. Did I mention it's also funny as hell? --Gary Renard, author of The Disappearance of the Universe
We love this book! Filled with authentic Guidance, Carrie takes us on a fascinating spiritual journey; one that gently leads us away from fear and doubt. This is a 'can't put it down' book that's spiked with joyous and irreverent humor. Carrie demonstrates through her trust in following Spirit, what is possible for all of us, and how life is meant to be lived as a co-creator with God. --Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Vieira, Co-authors of Take Me to Truth
Undoing the Ego Like 'David Sedaris meets Deepak Chopra' - Long Time No See is funny and irreverent, yet delivers enormously powerful spiritual messages. A real page turner. --Chris Eann, author, Politico: The Buddhist Manifesto
This is a riveting memoir, brilliant and personal, vibrant with spiritual insight. [Carrie Triffet] is heartbreaking in her transparency and hilarious in her uncanny perspectives... Written with fresh, oddball sensibility, this is soulful self-realization at its finest --Sequoia Hamilton, editor-in-chief, Awaken Journal
