She grew up enthralled by the myth of him, a brilliant, charismatic writer and entrepreneur who would appear with gifts from faraway places. Yet he was also a compulsive liar whose pursuit of transcendence took him from sex addiction, via the Rajneesh cult, to a relentless chase of money, which ended in ruin and finally addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs. A daughter's investigation into a father who was always out of reach, Sins of My Father is a gripping detective story that asks how much we can forgive of those we love.
