Once I picked up Never to Return, I couldn't put it down. As the saying goes, I laughed and I cried. The intimacy and innocence of this narrative put words to many ideas and thoughts I've entertained only in the silence of my own mind. It felt as though I was reading about myself.

This is a really inspiring story of a seekers spiritual journey. The book is so absorbing that I read it from cover to cover in one sitting and came out inspired and in high spirits. Sharon offers an honest and personal view of life in a monastery. The book shows an outstanding example of the guru disciple relationship. The author's reactions to the ups and downs during her journey are really inspiring, there is so much to learn from this. Sharon's writing style is very entertaining, sometimes funny, but she always expresses the ideas in a very clear manner. You don't have to be a very spiritual and deep person to enjoy this book. A must-read!

Forget the gurus, her grandmother deserves all the praise for finally suggesting she was wasting her time in the monastery.
A drab 10 years wasted there. Read more about her life at spiritual-happiness.
