All the Fishes Come Home to Roost: An American Misfit in India
By Rachel Manija Brown
Rodale, $23.95
Out: October
When Brown was 7, she moved with her parents from Los Angeles to an ashram in Ahmednegar, India. The ashram's infamous guru was Baba, whom Brown's parents viewed as their God. Baba coined the phrase "Don't worry, be happy" and is the Baba of The Who's "Baba O'Riley." Interesting facts, but not as interesting and sometimes hilarious as Brown's recounting of coming of age as the only American kid amidst the ashram's hippies and hangers-on. The story has its grim side as Brown recalls being stoned by fellow students and beaten by her teachers at Holy Wounds of Jesus Christ the Savior School.
For: Aging baby boomers who have hung up their love beads but still wax nostalgic for the Age of Aquarius.
