Blue Sky Kingdom: An Epic Family Journey to the Heart of the Himalaya

Feeling disconnected from his family and the world around him, Bruce Kirkby decided a change was needed. That decision led Bruce and his family to cross the Pacific, travel through South Korea, China, India and Nepal, eventually traversing the Himalayas by foot. Their destination: a thousand-year-old Buddhist monastery, one of the last places where Tibetan Buddhism is still practised freely in its original setting. Together the Kirkby family spent the summer absorbed by monastery life, and in this refuge, Bruce discovered ways to slow down, observe, listen, and, ultimately, to better understand his son on the autism spectrum. Recounted with wit and humility, Blue Sky Kingdom is an engaging travel memoir.
