Sky Train: Tibetan Women on the Edge of History - Hardcover

"A book that is sure to illuminate a Tibet so many of us have been longing to know." - Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Color Purple

"[Pays] tribute to the courage and resilience of Tibetan women. . . . Many readers will be moved by these powerful tales." - From the Foreword by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet

"Through the experiences of older Tibetan women, the author offers a captivating journey spanning half a century and several countries. Sky Train conveys women's lessons of community-building, generosity, faith, and determination. A beautiful, moving, riveting book." - Valerie Masumoto, UCLA

"What I learned from this wonderfully written book that compels with page-turning intensity is so much more than the history of how China swallowed Tibet, how 'change' looks and feels different depending on the eyes that view it. The inspiring lesson that stays with me as the book's afterglow is that of the ability of the mind that is filled with faith to emerge from the most dreadful privation unscathed, resilient. This book about the Dharma of connection, of companioning, of compassion, has strengthened my own devotion." - Sylvia Boorstein, author of Happiness Is an Inside Job: Practicing for a Joyful Life

"The reader feels as if she were right there on this journey. Canyon Sam weaves the stories of these women seamlessly together with her own personal experience of Tibet. It is her love for the country - its culture and its people - which makes this book so special. An important work . . . poignant and inspiring." - Sharon Salzberg, spiritual teacher and author
