Opening at the Strand Bookstore, in New York City, Una realizes how popular Trungpa Rinpoche continues to be. It gives her the impetus to tell her story. Traveling back to age two, when her memories in this life begin, Una and her mother visit her father in Puerto Rico, travel to New York, and end up in California, living in a 1955 Chevy. Una’s mother finds Trungpa Rinpoche again and the two end up at Padma Jong, one of his new dharma centers in Mendocino County. When Trungpa Rinpoche forms Naropa Institute, Una and her mother travel to Boulder, Colorado for the first time, to sit at his feet and hear what he has to say.
