About her book:
The Book of Help traces one woman's life-long quest for love, connection, and peace of mind. A heartbreakingly vulnerable and tragically funny memoir-in-remedies, Megan Griswolds narrative spans four decades and six continents from the glaciers of Patagonia and the psycho-tropics of Brazil, to academia, the Ivy League, and the study of Eastern medicine.

Megan was born into a family who enthusiastically embraced the offerings of New Age California culture at seven she asked Santa for her first mantra and by twelve she was taking weekend workshops on personal growth. But later, when her newly-wedded husband calls in the middle of the night to say hes landed in jail, Megan must accept that her many certificates, degrees and licenses had not been the finish line shed once imagined them to be, but instead the preliminary training for what would prove to be the wildest, most growth-insisting journey of her life.
