His previous life of abstinence and celibacy devolves into a life of violence and dealing drugs to the offspring of America's finest families at one of our nation's top educational institutions.

    <![CDATA[Expected to continue the family tradition and become a priest in rural India praying in the ancestral temples of Kali, he escapes to Williams College for his higher education. His previous life of abstinence and celibacy devolves into a life of violence and dealing drugs to the offspring of America's finest families at one of our nation's top educational institutions. Kicked off campus, his descent into further drug use and dealing leads to threatened violence by a Chicago crime lord's henchman named Teddy 'Two Doors'. Hitting bottom, the author's journey to recovery begins in a half-way house run by a guy named 'Tats'. With the monkey god Hanuman, his unlikely 'Jiminy Cricket', Rao charts his ultimately triumphant battle for rehabilitation in a hauntingly beautiful memoir.]]>

  <description>
    <![CDATA[Expected to continue the family tradition and become a priest in rural India praying in the ancestral temples of Kali, he escapes to Williams College for his higher education. His previous life of abstinence and celibacy devolves into a life of violence and dealing drugs to the offspring of America's finest families at one of our nation's top educational institutions. Kicked off campus, his descent into further drug use and dealing leads to threatened violence by a Chicago crime lord's henchman named Teddy 'Two Doors'. Hitting bottom, the author's journey to recovery begins in a half-way house run by a guy named 'Tats'. With the monkey god Hanuman, his unlikely 'Jiminy Cricket', Rao charts his ultimately triumphant battle for rehabilitation in a hauntingly beautiful memoir.]]>
