Buhari: A Family Odyssey in Nepal
()
About this ebook
While planning her second trek in Nepal in 2014, Linda Schuyler Horning's dream of family closeness is shattered. She learns her Kathmandu resident son, Adam, will marry Amita, a high-spirited Nepali woman she has never met. Invited, along with her husband, Paul, to be part of a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony, Horning struggles to balance her fear of letting go against a fascination with the unique culture and natural beauty of Nepal. How will Adam's parents fare at a first meeting with their Nepali inlaws, and will age or elevation sickness prevent them from conquering the pass? Buhari: A Family Odyssey in Nepal is a compelling journey from the back streets of Kathmandu, to a unique family celebration in Pokhara, and finally onto the stunningly beautiful and challenging Annapurna Circuit, where success or failure waits just beyond the 17, 769-foot Thorong La pass.

Linda Schuyler Horning, author of Buhari – A Family Odyssey in Nepal, has a passion for foreign travel, having lived in Tasmania, Australia for several years and visited several more countries following that stay. When her son moved to Nepal, she focused her attention on a different country and culture, starting a blog about Nepal that led her to writing this book. Horning, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, became a diabetes educator who worked in a variety of clinical and community settings, writing extensively within her career field. Those works include The Complete Idiot's Guide to Fasting with Eve Adamson and a contribution to Beef Busters, by Marissa Cloutier, M.S., R.D. Horning's love of writing extends back to her early years on a rural Pennsylvania farm, where she wrote stories about her family home and mother's yellow kitchen, but now she writes more about adventures she shares with her family in the foothills and mountains of the Sierra. Two short stories, Chickadee Ski and Salmon in the Goldfields, are available on line.
