Coming of age in Berkeley, California, during the sexual and feminist revolutions of the 1970s, she learned that marriage and family could wait.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOr could they?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Leza moves to Japan and meets the man of her dreams, her heart opens in ways she never thought possible. But she's still an outsider, and home is far away. Rather than struggle to fit in, she opens a yoga studio and makes a home for others. Then, at forty-four, Leza and her Japanese husband seek to adopt—in a country where bloodlines are paramount and family ties are almost feudal in their cultural importance. She travels to India to work on herself and back to California to deal with her past. Something is still not complete until she learns that when you give a little love to a child, you get the whole world in return.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis inspiring memoir reflects the author's deep connection to yoga that allows her to realize that infertile does not mean inconceivable. Through teaching, meditation, and community, she transcends her struggles and embraces the joys of adoption and motherhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeza Lowitz\u003c\/b\u003e lives in Tokyo with her husband, the writer Shogo Oketani, and their ten-year-old son.
