Seeking Shama: Me, My Dog, and the Road to Inner Peace

Seeking Shama: Me, My Dog, and the Road to Inner Peace is a heartfelt, candid, and inspiring memoir that explores the raw edges of being human, the freedom of the open road, and the journey toward spiritual reconnection.

When Kee Kee Buckley's career as a Hollywood executive vanishes overnight-just as the love of her life resurfaces with his new wife and family-she's left with a broken heart, no safety net, and the disorienting ache of a life that didn't go as planned.

Thank God she had her dog, Yoda.

With nothing left to lose, they hit the road in her Prius, affectionately named Princess Leia, on a five-month journey guided by a faded, decade-old sticky note taped to the dashboard: "I Welcome Change."

From being adopted by a curandera in Arkansas to falling in and out of love in Texas to living in Iowa's iconic American Gothic House with Ms. American Pie, Kee Kee's search for shama-Sanskrit for inner peace-unfolds in magical, messy, and deeply human ways.

Part travelogue, part spiritual journey, Seeking Shama is a reminder that sometimes the road to peace begins where the map ends-and that healing can come in the form of a wagging tail, a soothing hot spring, or the bravery to start again.
