The Barn at the End of the World by Mary Rose O'reilley
Transcendence can come in many forms. For Mary Rose O Reilley a year tending sheep seemed a way to seek a spirituality based not on climbing out of the body but rather on existing fully in the world, at least if she could overlook some of its earthier aspects. The Barn at the End of the World follows O Reilley in her sometimes funny, sometimes moving quest. Though small in stature, she learns to flip very large sheep and help them lamb. She also visits a Buddhist monastery in France, where she studies the practice of Mahayana Buddhism, dividing her spare time between meditation and dreaming of French pastries.Mary Rose O'Reilley is the author of five essay collections, most recently The Love of Impermanent Things. She lives in St. Paul, Minnesota, and is a professor of English at the University of St. Thomas
