What is the book?
The first One Book – One Bozeman book selection is Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World by Pulitzer Prize-winner Tracy Kidder. This New York Times bestseller tells the story of Paul Farmer, an anthropologist and physician who dedicates himself to delivering quality health care to some of the world’s poorest people. His story takes us from the halls of Harvard to the rural areas of Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia, where Farmer shows us how radical change can be achieved by a single person.
 Reactions to Mountains Beyond Mountains:
“Here is a genuine hero alive in our times. Mountains Beyond Mountains unfolds with the force of gathering revelation. Like all of Tracy Kidder’s books, it is as hard to put down as any good and true story.”—Annie Dillard, author of The Writing Life
“Mountains Beyond Mountains is the only book I’ve read in years that made me feel like cheering. It left me uncomfortable, guilty, and exhausted—but it also inspired me, kept me up all night, and moved me to tears. Some readers will find their lives changed forever; everyone else will emerge, at the very least, with an unexpectedly revised set of values. Tracy Kidder has given us not only an unforgettable book but an unignorable life lesson. Hurrah!” —Anne Fadiman, author of The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down
