    “A rare and fascinating testimony . . . of a little girl who made an incredible trip from inner Dolpo to America—and from the Middle Ages to the twenty-first century.” —Eric Valli, director of the Oscar nominated film, Himalaya 
     
    The absorbing memoir of a spirited girl in a remote, undeveloped region of Nepal near the border of Tibet, a place made known to the world in Peter Matthiesen’s The Snow Leopard. Life above 13,000 feet in northern Dolpo was one of constant risk and harsh survival. In the 1980s, Dolpo had no running water, electricity, motor vehicles, phones, school, or doctors, other than the local lamas, trained in the use of herbs and prayer. Covering her first ten years, the story takes Dorje from her primitive mountain village to the bewildering city of Kathmandu, and finally to a new home in America, where she receives life-saving surgery. 
     
    With humor, soul, and insightful detail, Dorje gives us vividly told vignettes of daily life and the practice of centuries-old Tibetan traditions. She details the heartbreaking trials, natural splendors, and familial joys of growing up in this mysterious, faraway part of the world with its vanishing culture due to increased tourism. This wonderful and surprising tale of survival, loss, and self-reflection offers us entry to this difficult, yet magical, place. 
     
    Above all, this is the inspiring story of an indomitable spirit conquering all obstacles, a tale of a girl with a disability on her way to becoming a dynamic woman in a new world.
