- Summary:
- Defying everyone's advice, armed only with her rudimentary knowledge of Chinese and Tibetan, Tenberken set out to do something about the appalling condition of the Tibetan blind, who had been abandoned by society and left to die. Her story demonstrates anew the power of the positive spirit to overcome the most daunting odds.
