title: Stealing Shiva
author:  Kathleen Ortner 
description: <div>"In this comic novel, a young con woman plans to steal from a spiritual community but instead finds herself wanting to join their search for truth...In her debut novel, Ortner nicely balances comedy with romance--Jessabelle falls for a Lalliville member--and serious spiritual practice...An entertaining, unusual mix of the caper novel with dashes of comedy, romance, and spirituality." - <i>Kirkus Reviews</i></div>
