This week, I learned that the woman who wrote the book that inspired
me to risk this adventure as a nomad, Rita Golden Gelman, has written another book….Female Nomad and Friends: Tales of
Breaking Free and Breaking Bread Around the World. Well, she didn’t write the whole thing. It is, instead, a collection of stories from
women (mostly) sharing some of their adventures (mostly travel). She called for contributions from her
seemingly thousands of friends around the world, and then she and a friend
selected and edited the hundreds of entries they received. I’m about halfway through the book, and there
are some funny, touching, sad, scary, and inspiring short (mostly very short) stories here.
What’s more, the proceeds from the sale of this book are being
donated to a special fund to provide vocational education to high school
graduates from the slums of New Delhi, India.
If you follow this link……
……….and read the first pages of the book, you can learn the
details of this philanthropic venture. I
would have purchased the book anyway, but I’m doubly happy because I’ve made a
small contribution toward a better future for one of these children.
As an added bonus, there are also some recipes in the book
from several different countries.
