Maggie Doyne traveled the world during a gap year before starting college. While in Nepal, she was distressed by the dismal conditions of families and children. Investing her life savings–five thousand dollars–she bought a piece of land and opened a children's home.

That home became Kopila Valley Children's Home, and eventually, the nonprofit Maggie launched, BlinkNow Foundation, also started the Kopila Valley School, which provides tuition-free education for more than four hundred students.

Though Maggie and BlinkNow's work have been recognized around the world for their innovative, sustainable work, this book isn't a how-to for fledgling philanthropists or nonprofit founders. It is a coming-of-age story about a young woman suspended between two worlds, as well as the love, loss, healing, and hope she experiences along the way.

Luke Metcalf grew up in Pomfret, VT, and worked with the BlinkNow Foundation, first as a volunteer and then as Construction Project Manager. He acted as proxy between Maggie and the many architects, engineers, contractors, and site workers to bring the idea of a new eco-focused school campus from dream to reality.
