Follow the Tibetan adventures of Pamela Logan as she evolves from solo traveler to expedition leader. Her mission: to save the precious ancient murals of Pewar Monastery. To reach her goal she travels a long and circuitous path: raising funds, securing permission from the Chinese government, assembling an international team, and leading four expeditions to bring them by bus, truck, and horse caravan to Pewar Monastery. Along the way she meets a memorable parade of characters, overcomes bureaucracy and blizzards, and survives an attack by a pack of Tibetan dogs. Her book is an insider’s look at a remote and little known part Tibet, her story an inspiration to those who cherish challenge and adventure.
