This book is like recieving a letter from a feloved friend you didn't even know you had. Maggie Doyne invites us into her life, sharing the triumphs, fears and deep grief from her amazing work in Nepal. Together with her partners, she developed a home for parentless children and a school for a community in desperate need.
It's a remarkably personal tale that reminds us of our deep capacity for good and the value of investing ourselves in growing community. Home may be far from where we're born, and family may extend well beyond blood and marriage.
I read this in advance of watching the documentary of the same name produced by Doyne's husband chronicling her work. I'm looking forward to seeing with my own eyes what Doyne so beautifully described in this book.

A harrowing and gripping read. This book delivers exactly what it promises, a fleshed-out scenario wherein the world enters nuclear war. Through this narrative, Jacobsen educates us on the details of nuclear warfare, strategic planning, and the risk we're all at by playing this game of nuclear deterrence.
I was surprised by how reluctant I was to put this book down.
