This memoir describes the underlying spirit of the small intentional community that collectively wrote the New York Times best-selling manual for living a low-consumption, high-fulfillment lifestyle, Your Money or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez. It describes this close-knit group dedicated to love and service known as the New Road Map Foundation through the eyes of one member. It is the story of the author's spiritual journey as well as an evocation of the life of this community during its years of maturity and dissolution. The memoir offers relevant insights for those who aspire to live in community and to those who are drawn to intentional living or the spiritual journey.
