Goddess Beyond Boundaries
The Parashakthi Temple in Pontiac, Michigan serves as a site of worship for the Hindu goddess Karumariamman, whose origins are in South India. In her American home Karumariamman has assumed the status of Great Goddess, a tantric deity and wonder worker who communicates directly with devotees through dreams, visions, and miracles. Drawing on fifteen years of field work, Tracy Pintchman reveals how the Parashakthi Temple has become a site of theological and ritual innovation. A unique spiritual community, the temple does not simply reproduce Indian goddess traditions, but instead reimagines Hinduism and the Hindu Goddess in the American religious, cultural, and natural landscape. The congregation's faith is grounded in a vision of the Goddess as a breaker of boundaries, including those of race, ethnicity, religion, geography, history, and nationality. Like her congregants, Pintchman suggests, the goddess is emblematic of the qualities of a new immigrant; she embraces the opportunities

As the story moves into the last book of the trilogy, we know that Chaldee's kingdom has been destroyed, meaning she must seek a new homeland, but the search seems fruitless until, with the help of her Earthling friends, the search leads them into the wonders of a secret city, hidden deep underground. Meanwhile, in Sydney, Jake's efforts to help Adele and her father end in tragedy, forcing Jake and Ben to reach out to Chaldee. At the same time Chaldee's enemy, the Commander, has been captured by an army unit and taken back to Sydney. Their intent is to use him to find Chaldee, but he outwits them. Eventually, when the five Earthling friends are united, they are welcomed into the mystical city, and through the help of the masters of that city, Chaldee is offered a place of environmental perfection, thus they are led to the kingdom's new home.
