Between the Mountain and the Sky shows us the goodness that is
possible when a single person--regardless of age--takes action to
help another and, in the process, changes the lives of hundreds.
Maggie's story begins in suburban New Jersey, in a comfortable
middle-class family that supports her decision to travel the world
during a gap year before starting college. During her travels, the
trajectory of her life alters when she has a surprise encounter
with a Nepali girl breaking rocks in a quarry. Maggie decides to
invest her life savings of five thousand dollars to buy a piece of
land and open a children's home in Nepal. That home becomes Kopila
Valley Children's Home, and eventually, the nonprofit Maggie
launches, the BlinkNow Foundation, also starts the Kopila Valley
School, which provides tuition-free education for more than four
hundred students. Maggie and BlinkNow's work have been recognized
around the world for their innovative, sustainable work. However,
this book isn't a how-to for fledging philanthropists or nonprofit
founders--it's a coming-of-age story about a young woman suspended
between two worlds, as well as the love, loss, healing, and hope
she experiences along the way. And Maggie's inspiring, intimate
tale shows readers an important truth: the power to change the
world exists within all of us.
