Warwick's Books Hosts a
Special Evening with Greg Mortenson,
Author of Three Cups of Tea!
Introduces His New Book
Stones Into Schools
Thursday, December 10, 2009
7:00 pm - Speaking & Signing
at The Unity Center
The New York Times bestselling author of Three Cups of Tea continues the story of his determined efforts to promote peace through education . 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 even as he was dodging shootouts with feuding Afghan warlords and surviving an eight-day armed abduction by the Taliban. He shares for the first time his broader vision to promote peace through education and literacy, a vision he has shared with hundreds of thousands of people across the world since the publication of Three Cups of Tea. The continued phenomenal success of Three Cups of Tea proves that there is an eager and committed audience for Mortenson's work and message.
