A Hundred Thousand White Stones: An Ordinary Tibetan’s Extraordinary Journey

Description

A Hundred Thousand White Stonesis one young Tibetan woman’s fearlessly told story of longing and change. Kunsang Dolma writes with unvarnished candor of the hardships she experienced as a girl in Tibet, violations as a refugee nun in India, and struggles as an immigrant and new mother in America. Yet even in tribulation, she finds levity and never descends to self-pity. We watch in wonder as her unlikely choices and remarkable persistence bring her into ever-widening circles, finding love and a family in the process, and finally bringing her back to her childhood home. A Hundred Thousand White Stonesoffers an honest assessment of what is gained in pursuing life in the developed world and what is lost.
