This book is excellent. It does a great job chronicling Goldberg's transition from an atheist, logical sort of person to a Buddhist and a (wilder) hippie sort of person. If you want a more complete version of her relationship with Katagiri Roshi, I recommend reading The Great Failure as well. Honestly, I would recommend reading both. I would go so far as to say that one isn't really complete without the other.
