Book
"Discover the life of Som Tamang, a true hero of the Himalayas, and be inspired by his incredible journey of triumph against all odds. Penned by award-winning former ABC journalist Kirsty Nancarrow, Som's life is a testament to the incredible strength of the human spirit and the enduring power of hope and a singular purpose - to protect girls in Nepal from trafficking and child marriage. Overcoming extreme poverty, child slavery, a tiger attack, a critical head injury and civil war, Som Tamang's tenacity led him to Australia. Through hard work and a touch of serendipity, he carved out a brighter future for generations to come." --Back cover.
