Join the Library for this special author event with Patti Lefkos. Patti is a Canadian author and journalist who wrote the book Nepal One Day at a Time: One Woman's Quest to Teach, Trek and Build a School in the Remote Himalaya.

Patti’s book tells of a senior woman whose life has come to an impasse. In an effort to establish independence within her marriage and face fears of aging brought on by the tragedies of loved ones, she sets off for the first time on her own. Accompanied by a young guide and porter Patti volunteers at a remote village school before beginning a month-long high altitude Himalayan trekking adventure.

Patti’s articles have appeared in a range of Canadian and international publications. Born in Toronto, she has also lived in Neuchatel, Switzerland and Vancouver. Following a rewarding career as a teacher, administrator and advocate for inner city children, Patti studied journalism at Langara University. She is a graduate of the University of Toronto, Toronto Teachers’ College, Simon Fraser University and the Wilderness Leadership Program at Capilano College. In 2006, most often with her husband Barry Hodgins, she set out to pursue international adventure travel.
