Faith Adiele is a non-fiction writer, author of MEETING FAITH: THE FOREST JOURNALS OF A BLACK BUDDHIST NUN IN THAILAND (W.W. Norton & Co.).
Richard Rodriguez writes: "Faith Adiele has written an astonishing book--part travelogue, part coming-of-age memoir--that defies easy classificationbecause it is finally a memoir of the soul. Adiele's witty, painfully candid, and always sharp-eyed account of becoming a Buddhist nun leads the reader to a most profound spiritual and human truth: There is no easy, static answer to the stranger's question, What are you?
Lan Samantha Chang writes: For anyone tempted to lead a more contemplative and spiritual life, MEETING FAITH offers a humorous, enlightening, andultimately enchanting chronicle of one American woman's unlikely journey.
Meri Nana-Ama Danquah writes: To say that this book is solely about either religion or race is to miss the point entirely. Faith Adiele's account of her search for self is not only beautifully written, it is also insightful and fearless.
