Jasmine is a malignancy specialist and sole mother in Seattle, long estranged from her Iranian parents and heritage. When confronted with the sudden unintentional death of Aria, her five-year-old little girl, she sees little solace in the curing advice she's prescribed to her patients and their families. Lacking religious scaffolding or comforting rituals to cope, Jasmine will buy a one-way ticket about the world. Along the way she writes characters: to her three biggest loves, all now useless, and also to her committed friends who encourage her to return home. This deeply religious book is the record of Jasmine's voyage inward and a moving celebration of the fundamental elements of life: of planting maize in Guatemala, of silent meditation in the mountains of Tibet, and of the rituals of grieving in Iran. It is only when Jasmine, this modern American girl, links with her ancient heritage that she can finally cure.
