In 2012, Michael Schauch and his wife, Chantal, undertook an expedition deep in the Himalaya of northern Nepal, into a remote valley that had been closed off to outsiders for decades. What unfolded in the mountains forced him to question his values and his own identity, and eventually resulted in meeting a little girl, Karma, which was the most profound encounter of his life. This book recounts this journey, and the years that follow as Karma, Michael, and Chantal grow their lives together amidst the confusing dichotomies and backdrop of Karma's Himalayan village.
