Their oral histories are filled with tales of dangerous escapes into political exile, newly-found proximity to the Dalai Lama, family dispersions and reunions, and pioneering immigration to the United States. Narrators of these compelling stories include former nomads, monks and nuns, weavers, scholars, resistance fighters, filmmakers, and more. Extensive photographs, historic maps, and brief essays accompany these stories. Second-generation Tibetans compiled and produced the materials in the book, assisted by a professional translators, editors, and book designer. It was a five-year labor of love, and embedded in every page is the deeply shared dedication to freedom inside Tibet.
