STONES INTO SCHOOLS

In  this  dramatic  first person  narrative,  Greg  Mortenson  picks  up  where  Three  Cups  of  Tea  left  off  in  2003,  recounting  his  relentless,  ongoing  efforts  to  establish  schools  for  girls  in  Afghanistan;  his  extensive  work  in  Azad  Kashmir  and  Pakistan  after  a  massive  earthquake  hit  the  region  in  2005;  and  the  unique  ways  he  has  built  relationships  with  Islamic  clerics,  militia  commanders,  and  tribal  leaders.  He  shares  for  the  first  time  his  broader  vision  to  promote  peace  through  education  and  literacy,  as  well  as  touching  on  military  matters,  Islam,  and  women-all  woven  together  with  the  many  rich  personal  stories  of  the  people  who  have  been  involved in  this  remarkable  two decade  humanitarian  effort. Since  the  2006  publication  of  Three  Cups  of  Tea,  Mortenson  has  traveled  across  the  U.S.  and  the  world  to  share  his  vision  with  hundreds  of  thousands  of  people.  He  has  met  with  heads  of  state,  top  military  officials,  and  leading  politicians  who  all  seek  his  advice  and  insight.  The  continued  phenomenal  success  of  Three  Cups  of  Tea  proves  that  there  is  an  eager  and  committed  audience  for  Mortenson’s  work  and  message.
