    [synopsis] => Jackie, born of medical missionaries in China during World War II, 
rejected her connection to her birth country growing up because it made 
her different. 

A return to China with her parents in 1980, 
however, is life-changing. After always having known her mother as 
distant and emotionally abusive, she is stunned to see a loving side to 
her for the first time-and pleasantly surprised by the affinity she 
feels for her birth country.

These revelations launch Jackie on a
 quest to understand her difficult childhood and who she is beyond 
"wife," "mother," and "daughter." Her journey takes her first to the 
mountainous landscapes of Alaska, where she finds a passion for nature 
and begins a thirty-five-year environmental career. As she builds her 
life there and later in New England, she makes multiple trips to her 
birth country-with her parents, alone, and with her adult children. Each
 of these trips provides a benchmark for the growth and transformation 
she undergoes as she learns to create the authentic life she craves. 

Deeply reflective and sensitively rendered, Whispers from the Valley of the Yak
 touches on the healing power of nature and universal themes of 
unconditional love and forgiveness-and, most importantly, being true to 
oneself.
