This year’s One Book, Once College at St. Petersburg College is featuring Mountains Beyond Mountains, by Tracy Kidder. This New York Times bestseller tells the story of how one person can make a difference in the world. Kidder writes about the true story of a gifted man, Dr. Paul Farmer, who is in love with the world and has set out to do all he can to cure diseases that kill people. Kidder is a winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the author of the bestsellers The Soul of a New Machine, House, Among Schoolchildren, and Home Town. He has been described by the Baltimore Sun as the “master of the non-fiction narrative.”

“Mountains Beyond Mountains unfolds with the force of a gathering revelation,” says Annie Dillard, and Jonathan Harr says, “[Farmer] wants to change the world. Certainly this luminous and powerful book will change the way you see it.”
