Twenty years after her first encounter with Tibet, Canyon Sam re-visits the place she loves. Even as she disembarks China’s infamous Sky Train, the author confronts a series of changes all seemingly irrevocable the devastation of Lhasa’s once-pristine landscape, the corrosion of cultural artefacts, the slow death of a vibrant civilization. In an attempt to acknowledge the past, the Chinese-American writer documents her spiritual home by recording the voices of four Tibetan women - a visionary educator, a freedom fighter, a gulag survivor, a child bride.
