Mountains to Cross by Dr. Abraham M. George is an inspiring memoir that recounts his journey from his early years in India to a successful career in the United States and his return home to fight systemic poverty and inequality. The book offers a powerful story of personal growth, professional success, and a strong commitment to social service. His story begins with his time as an artillery officer in the Indian army, stationed at the difficult Se La mountain pass in the Himalayas. His military experiences shaped his core values of discipline, courage, and leadership, which he carried into his entrepreneurial pursuits in the United States. After earning advanced degrees and building a successful business, the author made the life-changing decision to return to India to pursue his mission to empower marginalized communities.

Dr. Abraham M. George's innovative approach to education and his belief in the transformative power of nurturing and opportunity are evident throughout the book. His efforts to address environmental health issues, including removing lead from gasoline in India, demonstrate his dedication to building a better future for everyone. The book is filled with vivid anecdotes, heartfelt reflections, and insights into the struggles and successes of social work. The author's firm dedication to his cause and his ability to overcome challenges are inspiring. Mountains to Cross is a powerful story that highlights the potential of one person's vision and determination to create meaningful change. It is a story of hope, compassion, and the pursuit of a better world, giving readers a glimpse into the transformative power of education and service. This journey reminds us of the importance of perseverance and the impact of selfless action in tackling societal challenges.
