The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
San Francisco-based writer, performance artist, and activist Canyon Sam connects the lives of individual Tibetan women with the larger cultural, political, and spiritual history of the Tibetan people in her much-awaited first book, Sky Train: Tibetan Women on the Edge of History (University of Washington Press). Sky Train tells the stories of women currently living in Tibet, and in its diaspora—including a child bride, a freedom fighter, an educator, and a gulag survivor. "Years ago, following her ancestral roots to China, but finding instead Tibet as a spiritual home, Canyon Sam made a miracle of a journey. Now in Sky Train she guides the reader on a life-changing adventure back to Tibet after more than twenty years and an epoch of cataclysmic change to produce a miracle of a book." - Maxine Hong Kingston.
