520    "Li Juan and her mother own a small convenience store in 
       the Altai Mountains in Northwestern China, where she 
       writes about her life among grasslands and snowy peaks. To
       her neighbors' surprise, Li decides to join a family of 
       Kazakh herders as they take their 30 boisterous camels, 
       500 sheep and over 100 cattle and horses to pasture for 
       the winter. The so-called 'winter pasture' occurs in a 
       remote region that stretches from the Ulungur River to the
       Heavenly Mountains. As she journeys across the vast, 
       seemingly endless sand dunes, she helps herd sheep, rides 
       horses, chases after camels, builds an underground home 
       using manure, gathers snow for water, and more. With a 
       keen eye for the understated elegance of the natural world,
       and a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor, Li vividly 
       captures both the extraordinary hardships and the ordinary
       preoccupations of the day-to-day of the men and women 
       struggling to get by in this desolate landscape. Her 
       companions include Cuma, the often drunk but mostly 
       responsible father; his teenage daughter, Kama, who feels 
       the burden of the world on her shoulders and dreams of 
       going to college; his reticent wife, a paragon of decorum 
       against all odds, who is simply known as "sister-in-law." 
       In bringing this faraway world to English language readers
       here for the first time, Li creates an intimate bond with 
       the rugged people, the remote places and the nomadic 
       lifestyle. In the signature style that made her an 
       international sensation, Li Juan transcends the travel 
       memoir genre to deliver an indelible and immersive reading
       experience on every page."
