THE FILM

In 2005 after graduating high school, Maggie Doyne embarked on a gap year, where she met Tope, a now grown Nepalese orphan, caring for orphaned children.

United in purpose, Maggie and Tope pooled resources to establish a children’s home, women's empowerment program, and school in Nepal. Years later, their relentless efforts led to being honored as the 2015 CNN HERO OF THE YEAR.  But days after the award ceremony, Maggie, by then guardian to over fifty Nepalese children, faced the unthinkable, plunging the family into disbelief and despair.

After a chance encounter amidst her grief, Maggie allows a filmmaker into her life to document herself, her family, and soon enough, their falling in love. "Between the Mountain and the Sky" explores resilience, love's impact in loss, and a family's enduring strength to find and rekindle hope in the darkest times.

THE BOOK

Over 85,000 copies sold globally!

“Maggie has the courage to act for good when she sees a need and the conscience to use her privilege to empower others. She is a heart warrior of the first order.”

Cheryl Strayed
#1 New York Times bestselling author of Wild

“Where others look upon poverty and injustice and either turn their heads away or shut down in hopeless despair, Maggie gets to work saving lives — one child at a time. She is what I wish I could be — what I wish we all could be. Her story has already inspired countless thousands of people,”

Elizabeth Gilbert
#1 New York Times bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love
