The main character is the mountain hiker Greg Mortenson who climbed K2, the world’s second highest mountain, in the Karakoram Range of northern Pakistan. He was planning to lay his deceased sister Christa’s amber necklace on the summit of K2. After more than 70 days on the mountain, Greg and three other climbers had their ascent interrupted by the need to complete a 75-hour life-saving rescue of a fifth climber. After getting lost during his descent, he became weak and exhausted, and by chance alone. He came across Korphe, a small village built on a shelf jutting out from a canyon. He was greeted and taken in by the chief elder of Korphe, Haji Ali. And he was taken care of by people there. To repay the remote community for its hospitality, Mortenson promised to build a school for the village. But he never thought he had to pay such a big price to make his promise.
