When Lesotho RPCV Madeline Uraneck said hello to the Tibetan woman cleaning her office cubicle, she never imagined the moment would change her life. “How to Make a Life: A Tibetan Refugee Family and the Midwestern Woman They Adopted” shares the story of the Tibetan refugee family of Tenzin Kalsan making a life in Madison, Wisconsin, and the Midwestern woman they befriended. From tales of escaping Tibet over the Himalayas, to striking a balance between old traditions and new, to bridging divides one friendly gesture at a time, author Madeline Uraneck found more than she bargained for – a family who welcomed her as their own and taught her things she didn’t realize she needed to learn. Join Madeline and her friend Tenzin Kalsan for a conversation about the book and their story.”
