By Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin
Some failures lead to phenomenal successes, and this American nurse's unsuccessful attempt to climb K2, the world's second tallest mountain, is one of them. Dangerously ill when he finished his climb in 1993, Mortenson was sheltered for seven weeks by the small Pakistani village of Korphe; in return, he promised to build the impoverished town's first school, a project that grew into the Central Asia Institute, which has since constructed more than 50 schools across rural Pakistan and Afghanistan. Captivating and suspenseful, with engrossing accounts of both hostilities and unlikely friendships, this book will win many readers' hearts! Join Val Melmer on October 2 from 11 a.m. to noon at the Ramkota as she discusses Three Cups of Tea.
Greg Mortenson is a 1983 graduate of the University of South Dakota in Vermillion.
A copy of the book is yours to keep when you attend the session!
