520    A memoir and portrait of three generations of Tibetan 
       women whose lives are forever changed when Chairman Mao's 
       Red Army crushes Tibetan independence, sending a young 
       mother and her six-year-old daughter on a treacherous 
       journey across the snowy Himalayas toward freedom. Kunsang
       thought she would never leave Tibet but the Chinese 
       invasion of Tibet in 1950 changed everything. When 
       soldiers arrived at her mountain monastery, destroying 
       everything in their path, Kunsang and her family fled 
       across the Himalayas only to spend years in Indian refugee
       camps. She lost both her husband and her youngest child on
       that journey, but the future held an extraordinary turn of
       events that would forever change her life, the arrival in 
       the refugee camps of a cultured young Swiss man long 
       fascinated with Tibet. Martin Brauen will fall instantly 
       in love with Kunsang's young daughter, Sonam, eventually 
       winning her heart and hand, and taking mother and daughter
       with him to Switzerland, where Yangzom will be born.
