Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder

This spring marked the first One Book One Zip Code for Deerfield, Bannockburn and Riverwoods, and the book chosen was Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder. This is the story of Dr. Paul Farmer, who helped establish Partners in Health, which has helped to treat thousands of very poor people for TB and HIV/AIDS in countries such as Haiti, Peru, Russia and Rwanda. It is such an inspiring story and wonderfully written. There is so much I could say about this book, but it would not do it justice. Just read it.
