description:   Beyond the Summit  tells the story of two people with dreams. Beth is an American journalist who finally arrives in her Shangri-La to do a story on Nepal. Dorje is a young Sherpa who aspires to summit Everest like Tenzing Norgay before him, even if it means severing ties with his father's traditions. As tourists flood into the remote Himalayan kingdom, Dorje yearns for what the modern world brings. He struggles not only against violent storms and the mountain that has seduced him since childhood but clashes with his father as old ways vanish. Immediately attracted to the blond-haired woman who comes to study his people, Dorje experiences a deeper love than he's ever known and discovers the consequences of their affair.
