River-washed childhoods in Phalewas to night shifts in Vancouver, this intimate memoir weaves grit, grace, and unlikely kindness. Gaudel guides tourists through a war-torn Nepal, falls in love, and starts anew in Canada-learning languages, surviving a recession, and partnering with many colleagues. What endures are teachers, friends, and a fierce devotion to family. Roots in Nepal, Wings in Canada-an uplifting testament to work, loyalty, and hope, everywhere. (Travelog)
