Have you ever taken a wrong turn and wound up in the right place? that is the story of Greg Mortenson. But, he wasn't driving in a strange town, or on a pleasant hike in the woods. He was coming down from a afiled attemt to scale one of the highest mountains in the world, fighting frostbite and completely cut off from the rest of his party. This page turning book goes on to tell the story of how he was rescued by a village in Northern Pakistan and returned there to build a school.
More than a decade later, he is still building schools and these schools do more to fight war and build bridges to peace, than all the bombs in Bush's war on terror, especially by empowering women. This book is well written, and a real page turner. I loved it!
