In Bowing to Elephants, a woman seeking love and authenticity comes
to understand herself as a citizen of the world through decades of
wandering the globe. During her travels she sees herself more
clearly as she gazes into the feathery eyes of a 14,000-pound
African elephant and looks for answers to old questions in Vietnam
and the tragically ravaged landscape of Cambodia. Bowing to
Elephants is a travel memoir with a twist the story of an unloved
rich girl from San Francisco who becomes a travel junkie, searching
for herself in the world to avoid the tragic fate of her
narcissistic, alcoholic mother. Haunted by images of childhood
loneliness and the need to learn about her world, Dimond journeys
to far-flung places into the perfumed chaos of India, the
nostalgic, damp streets of Paris, the gray, watery world of Venice
in the winter, the reverent and silent mountains of Bhutan, and the
gold temples of Burma. In the end, she accepts the death of the
mother she never really had and finds peace and her authentic self
in the refuge of Buddhist practice.
