The Rocky Mountains are split into four groups: the Canadian and Northern Rockies, the Middle Rockies, the Southern Rockies, and the Colorado Plateau. Seven different national parks across the United States and Canada have parts of the Rocky Mountains within their borders, including Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. Thanks to the vast distance the mountains cover, the land is home to a wide range of wildlife including grizzly bears, mountain goats, great gray owls, snakes, lizards, and prairie dogs. For thousands of years, the majesty of this mountain range has dazzled those who call it home, from First Nations to European explorers, and those who live there today.

Tsultrim Dolma, born in a tiny village in the stunning mountains of eastern Tibet, always knew there had to be more than the life expected of her: More than no education, because her family was poor. More than being married off at a young age, because she was a girl. More than barely getting by under oppressive Chinese occupation, because she was Tibetan. When she was sixteen, Tsultrim found more, joining protests for the Tibetan independence movement, the call for her beloved country’s liberation from the People’s Republic of China. Shortly after, she was arrested and sent to Gutsa Detention Centre, notorious for its brutal torture of political prisoners like Tsultrim. This young adult memoir follows Tsultrim’s courageous coming of age through her time at Gutsa, being heavily surveilled by the government after her release, and, ultimately, her escape to the U.S. It also underscores the bravery it takes to speak up, and the power to be found in sharing one’s story.

In the 1970s, an all-male ballet company called Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo was formed in New York City—but the dancers did not play only traditional male roles on stage.

Their practices and performances were precise and serious, but the dancers brought joy, comedy, and whimsy to the stage!
