I don't think "My path Leads to Tibet" by Sabriye Tenberken, was mentioned.
I really liked that book, and had fun discussing it when someone I knew
mentioned having read it recently. The book is from 2001 or something
close to that if I remember correctly, so most I think I partially enjoyed
it just because it was pretty current.
"The Kingdom Within" is another book in the collection about a blind woman
going to another country to teach. Genevieve Caulfield first goes to Japan
and then to Thailand. I haven't finished it yet, butthe the time period
seems to be late twenties through 1940 in the place where I stopped
reading.
