Three Cups of Tea
by Greg Mortenson & David Relin
Impressive. Very impressive.
This journey is about a man who goes from ordinary to extraordinary, simply by making a promise to build a school in a small village in Pakistan. Mortenson's drive to educate children, especially girls, is promoting peace worldwide. His journey was rocky, and the story seemed to pay homage to the struggles. It obviously wasn't easy for Mortenson's family to have him away for long periods of time, but his new family in Pakistan sure appreciated his work.
Prior to reading, I had very little knowledge of the conflicts in Pakistan. My limited insight came strictly from US propaganda and news, though I didn't believe it all. I appreciated hearing about the United States from outsiders' perspectives.
After I finished this book, I was at the library, and found that Mortenson had written another book! I look forward to reading it in the near future.
