What does it take to survive? More than you could fathom. "YAK
BUTTER BLUES: A Tibetan Trek of Faith" (an IPPY award winner), is
an inspiring true story. Join a tenacious man, woman and their
Tibetan horse as they set off to become the first Western couple to
trek an ancient 1000-kilometer trail across the wilds of Tibet.
Their incredible odyssey provides a riveting tale of human
endurance and an intimate first-hand look at the valiant struggle
of the Tibetan culture to survive as well as at the humanity
connecting us all.
"Wilson observes the impact of the Chinese occupation on the
daily lives of Tibetans... Recommended for adventure travel and
Tibetan culture collections." LIBRARY JOURNAL
"An engrossing, fascinating read sure to be relished by those
readers interested in adventure travel and the Tibetan culture. It
is also a highly spiritual story of faith which reminds us that
nothing is really impossible..." MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
"A hair-raising yarn...a high-altitude tale of synchronicity,
divine providence, begging monks, trigger-happy Chinese soldiers
and dehydration." PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE
"You can almost smell the dust and feel the blisters. Worth a
read by any adventure or travel-trekking novel enthusiast."
BACKPACKING LIGHT MAGAZINE
"A true pilgrimage, one that plumbs the heart of troubled
Tibet..." HONOLULU ADVERTISER
"A wonderful and wild read...charged, alive, and a little
threatening. Yak Butter Blues flickers insistently like a flashbulb
afterimage in the mind long after the book is tucked away." Richard
Bangs, adventurer/Producer Richard Bangs ADVENTURES
"A soaring travel diary. It places the reader in the thick of
the action every bit as well as Marco Polo transported Italians to
China and, as it seems to me, better than Lowell Thomas led readers
in the dust of Lawrence of Arabia." Joseph W. Bean, MAUI WEEKLY
"Told with humor and insight, this vivid narrative allows you to
vicariously experience life at true Tibetan pace, one step at a
time: so close, you can almost smell the yak butter." Michael
Buckley, author, TIBET: THE BRADT TRAVEL GUIDE
"Inspiring, Engaging, Compassionate This book is a treasure to
the Tibetan people and to the rest of the world. It gives us a true
glimpse of Tibet and captures a beautiful land and culture that may
not be around in years to come. Well done " Naomi C. Rose, author,
