Her father died when she was eight, but Patsy never stopped searching for a father-figure. She wanted to be enlightened, to know the truth of life and death by becoming involved in a yoga group. Instead, she was seduced by her guru (a father figure) and told she was responsible for her alcoholic husband (her "child").
While in India she was enlightened about the predatory nature of her guru and tried to stop him from abusing other young susceptible women.
Back home she worked with others to have the guru deported to stop further abuse in that community. She journeyed through recovery from her husband's alcoholism & her own codependency with her husband to eventually achieve a happy and successful marriage.
