According to this adage, once you have scaled a mountain, you will see more mountains farther away. In this book, Paul Farmer climbs the mountain of struggling to provide medical care to the unprivileged in the society. Indeed, the author, Tracy kidder, in this nonfiction is writing of a secular saint: Paul Farmer comes alive while attending to the diseases of people who have been forgotten by the world.
