Fay’s Men traces the adventures and misadventures of Fay Watkins, a Texas-born dancer and spiritual seeker, on the poignantly funny, circuitous path to self-realization.

Prompted by her naïve, almost quixotic idealism, Fay’s quest inspires hasty decisions in love and a disillusioning spiritual encounter that nearly knocks her off course.

Undaunted, she boldly pursues her goal, journeying from home to an initiatory stint as a revolutionary in Mexico, then to New York, where she leaps into marriage with a wacky psychiatrist, then to an Israeli Zen center and a Japanese monastery, followed by a hilariously disastrous trip to Paris with her Zen master, and an unintended admission as a patient in the psychiatric ward of her husband’s hospital—an experience that finally propels her to self-discovery on a palm-fringed beach in Hawaii.
