Book summary from the author:
Behind every refugee, there is a story that can teach, encourage and explain how the world works.
"The Himalayan" is a powerful tale of Nar Pradhan's journey that began in Bhutan. From the sadness of leaving his homeland, to the difficulties of living in the transit camps in Nepal and India, and, finally, to the hope of rebuilding his future in America, this book brings readers through the undulating journey of a refugee. "The Himalayan" illustrates the openness of American society, which is constantly enriched with men and women from every corner of the globe.
Nar Pradhan is a Bhutanese-born American in Cleveland, Ohio. He is an entrepreneur who runs several companies including South Asian Grocery; Himalayan Restaurant & Bar, LLC; and Pradhan Realty, LLC, also located in Cleveland, Ohio. He is married to the love of his life, Saru, and they have two small boys, Shayne and Seann.

About the branch
Life-long enrichment characterizes the North Hill Branch Library experience. Opportunities for learning and entertainment for customers of all ages abound in the library's programming - from preschool story times to family movie and craft days, from book discussions to stitching and cooking, from computer classes to GED and yoga classes. A diverse collection of books, movies, and music for all tastes and interests are available for borrowing. The library provides access to computers, WiFi, copiers, scanning and faxing.
Working closely with local organizations serving refugees in their first phase of their resettlement in our city and those working with senior citizens in the neighborhood, North Hill Branch Library continues a strong tradition of serving both Akron's newest community members and those families who have made Akron their home for generations. There's something for everyone at the North Hill Branch Library.
