HTML:<p><strong>Read by the author.</strong></p> <p><strong>Between the Mountain and the Sky</strong> <strong>shows us the goodness that is possible when a single person—regardless of age—takes action to help another and, in the process, changes the lives of hundreds.</strong></p> <p>Maggie's story begins in suburban New Jersey, in a comfortable middle-class family that supports her decision to travel the world during a gap year before starting college. During her travels, the trajectory of her life alters when she has a surprise encounter with a Nepali girl breaking rocks in a quarry. Maggie decides to invest her life savings of five thousand dollars to buy a piece of land and open a children's home in Nepal.</p> <p>That home becomes Kopila Valley Children's Home, and eventually, the nonprofit Maggie launches, the BlinkNow Foundation, also starts the Kopila Valley School, which provides tuition-free education for more than four hundred students. Maggie and BlinkNow's work have been recognized around the world for their innovative, sustainable work.</p> <p>However, this book isn't a how-to for fledging philanthropists or nonprofit founders—it's a coming-of-age story about a young woman suspended between two worlds, as well as the love, loss, healing, and hope she experiences along the way. And Maggie's inspiring, intimate tale shows an important truth: the power to change the world exists within all of us.</p>. Media Type: Audiobook.
