In 2006 Greg Mortenson published Three Cups of Tea, the true story of how he, a trauma nurse and amateur mountain climber, decided to build a school in a poor and isolated part of Pakistan. Soaring to the top of The New York Times best-seller list, Three Cups of Tea was embraced throughout the world, inspiring young and old alike. Money was raised. Schools were built. A sequel followed, Stones to Schools, making readers feel even closer to the men, women and children in the tribes of Central Asia.
