I originally wasn’t too sure I wanted to read this book, as it is nonfiction, and I usually steer myself away from that genre. But with a few days left until left for Mexico, I was running out of time to purchase a good read. Therefore, at Walmart with limited choices, I picked this up as it sounded interesting–an American mountain climber building schools for Pakistani children.
I have not been wanting to put it down lately. There truly are good people in the world, and this story affirms it. Also, it is co-authored by a journalist, so the style is terse and descriptive. I am fond of that style of writing. There also is a young reader’s version available.
