Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder
Members of the Class of 2013 gained insight into their summer reading assignment directly from the book's subjects – Jim Yong Kim, Dr. Paul Farmer, and Ophelia Dahl. President Kim, Farmer and Dahl held a panel discussion for the '13s on Tracy Kidder's bestseller "Mountains Beyond Mountains" which chronicles their work and determination to solve serious medical problems worldwide.
