Description
A story of adventure, survival, courage, and hope, set in the vivid Himalayan landscape of Tibet and India. Tash lives in Tibet, where as a practicing Buddhist she must follow many rules to avoid the wrath of the occupying Chinese soldiers. Life remains peaceful as long as Tash, her family, and their community hide their religion and donβt mention its leader, the Dalai Lama. The quiet is ruptured when a man publicly sets himself on fire to protest the occupation.
