JETSUN PEMA is the younger sister of the Dalai Lama and this is her moving story of a once-hidden world which can never be the same again.

"I have read a great deal on the subject of Tibet. No book had as much of an effect on me as Jetsun Pema's. It provides an insight into the story of Tibet. It gives the essence of what overwhelmed me when I came into contact with Tibetans: simplicity, generosity, tolerance, dignity in suffering. Tibet: My Story is a reflection of the author: Jetsun Pema is perhaps the most admirable woman I have had the privilege of meeting.'
Jean-Jacques Annaud, director of the film 'Seven Years in Tibet'
JETSUN PEMA, a sister of the Dalai Lama, was educated in India, Switzerland and England and, since the invasion of her country, has played a major part in the education of refugee Tibetan children. She is also the first woman minister of the Tibetan government in exile and was awarded the title 'Mother of Tibet' by its National Assembly.
