Journalist Greenwald settled in Kathmandu, a valley city nestled between the peaks of the Himalaya, in the 1990s to cover the "people power" uprising against the long-entrenched monarchy, learn the pillars of Tibetan Buddhism and discover the importance of democracy to the Nepalese. But what he left behind in the United States was another volatile situation: his brother was falling into a deepening depression and was in desperate need of help. Greenwald weaves together his experiences during a tumultuous spring with his understanding of the revolution in Nepal.
