Everyday Enlightenment: How to be a Spiritual Warrior at the Kitchen Sink
Venerable Yeshe Chodron brings the Buddhist faith into our daily lives, revealing the joy and peace that so many followers of the Buddha's teachings have found in their own spiritual awakenings.
When Yeshe Chodron was fourteen, her father died, plunging her into a suicidal depression. At seventeen, she left Australia for the Himalayas to find the meaning of life. After nine years of practice and study as a Buddhist, Sister Yeshe relates her spiritual journey. With tremendous warmth and humor, she writes about how we can all reach peace, happiness, and enlightenment through Tibetan Buddhism in our lives.

I thought this was going to be about her life, so I picked it up thinking, "I'd like to hear the story of an Australian woman who became a Buddhist Nun." But only 2 chapters were about her life, the rest was basic Buddhist tenenents. Which was nice, but I'd rather read HHTDL for that. She keeps it pretty simple, which made for easy reading, but I would have liked to read more of her story and her experiences with monastic life.
