Críticas:

Yak Girl: Growing Up in the Remote Dolpo Region of Nepal is a vivid testimony of growing up and learning to survive in a harsh, rugged, yet astonishingly beautiful land. Her story includes a long and sometimes perilous journey, since her parents took her on a month-long trek to Kathmandu at age ten, followed by a meeting with westerners and travel to the United States for surgery to save her from a life-threatening condition. A candid, true-life story of hardship, strength, family ties, and culture shock, Yak Girl is highly recommended.--Midwest Book Review, May 2018

Reseña del editor:

This unusual memoir of a spirited girl in the remote region of Nepal described in Peter Matthieson's The Snow Leopard vividly portrays life in her primitive mountain village in the 80s, her struggles in bewildering Kathmandu, and her journey to America to receive life-saving surgery. An inspiring story of an indomitable spirit conquering all obstacles, a tale of a girl with a disability on her way to becoming a dynamic woman in a new world.
