Seeking Spirit: A Vietnamese (Non) Buddhist Memoir (Summary, Reviews & Purchase Options)

What if the life you built still left you wondering what you truly believe? In Seeking Spirit, Linda Trinh opens the door to her most personal journey—a path shaped by immigrant expectations, cultural memory, and the ache for meaning. Raised in Winnipeg with her mother’s Buddhist rituals and her father’s altar as a silent witness, Linda had all the markers of success: career, motherhood, stability. But beneath it all, she felt the hollow pull of unanswered questions. Through a series of interconnected essays, you are invited to follow her spiritual search—from ancestral offerings to corporate prayers, from Egypt to China, from passive belief to active seeking. Honest, inventive, and soulfully written, this memoir is a companion for anyone longing to bridge tradition and truth on their own terms.
