She thinks they're fianlly settled in England for a while when her dad gets a new job that forces her to move to Greece for the summer.

Some of India's friends and family aren't crazy about her interest in meditation and it confuses her all the more. Just as she thinks she's beginning to find herself, it seems people don't want her to grow spiritually.

In the end, India finds a good balance between the meditation/spiritual life, and her own personality. She realizes that she didn't need to "find herslef," but that being true to herself and honest about who she was/is was the right thing all along. A must read for fans of Cathy Hopkins.
