Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder
5.0

What an amazing man Dr. Paul Farmer was. This story was truly eye opening about the battle against tuberculosis and the many facets that play a part in it. Beyond the scientific and logistical side of things, this book provides a lot of philosophical questions to sit with and think on as far as personal values go. Truly a standout non-fiction book that reads as though it might be fiction. Also, taught us what scrofula was which came in handy at the Tenement Museum.
