Finding Jo

by Frances Ive

Overview

At breaking point Jo deserts her dysfunctional family and possessive boyfriend without telling a soul, making an uncharacteristic escape. She travels via Delhi to the Jasanghari retreat, a former palace nestled in the stunning Himalayas. Ensconced in this peaceful environment, she develops new friendships and skills, and has time for introspection and discussion.

 

As she starts to unravel the turmoil that has overwhelmed her, Jo begins to see glimpses of the peace of mind and inspiration that has eluded her.  All that changes when a visit from a family member brings rows and tensions, and a love triangle develops around her. Her new-found equilibrium is tested to the limit. 

 

Finding Jo focuses on relationships between families, lovers and friends, and the resentment and long-held grievances that threaten to destroy them. Her quest for a deeper purpose in life acts as a catalyst to her family, indicating that willingness to change and grow enables people to find happiness.
