There are few books that I sit down and read in a day， but this was one of them。Between the Mountain and the Sky is a memoir written by a woman who started a home for orphaned children in Nepal。 Her gap year between high school and college transformed into her now permanently living in a small mountain village in Nepal。 The memoir itself is beautifully written with great descriptive language。 And the book is really easy to read because you want to hear more and more of her story。 However， her st There are few books that I sit down and read in a day， but this was one of them。Between the Mountain and the Sky is a memoir written by a woman who started a home for orphaned children in Nepal。 Her gap year between high school and college transformed into her now permanently living in a small mountain village in Nepal。 The memoir itself is beautifully written with great descriptive language。 And the book is really easy to read because you want to hear more and more of her story。 However， her story is far from easy。 She has experienced an unbelievable amount of heartache， loss， despair， anxiety， and danger。 But she has such obvious love and passion for the children she raises and the community in which she lives that that is what you take away from her story。 Her love。 In fact， she shares love notes that she’s written to every one of her 50 children and the numerous members of her team that help make it all possible。The amount of things she’s accomplished in just over a decade since she started with the idea is astounding。 In addition to the children’s home， the complex houses a sustainability-based school for the kids， a woman’s cooperative for the women of the community to learn a trade， a transition program for the kids as they near adulthood and find their way into the world， a safe home for at risk girls and young women （the threat of being sold or forced to marry young is very real）， and a health and wellness clinic。 In 2015 she was named CNN Hero of the Year。 And what’s more astounding is that she’s done all of this and currently is only in her early 30s。 Just amazing when you can write a memoir at 30。If you’re interested in learning more about Maggie Doyne’s work in Nepal， check out BlinkNow Foundation and Kopila Valley Children’s Home and School。 。。。more
