Description
Jetsun Pema is the youngest sister of the Dalai Lama. Her family was one of exceptional destiny. Her description of the finding of the new Dalai Lama is unique because she was there as a young girl when the old Lamas arrived to see if her brother had knowledge of the sacred texts from a previous incarnation, and when they announced to the world he would be the next spiritual leader. The book is also an account of the eternal Tibet before the invasion, a story of a hidden world which will never be the same again, and the events which overtook it.
