In 2006, author Patricia Sexton set out on a journey most of us have
only fantasized about. She quit her job to pursue her dream. Thirty
years old and a rising star at a Wall Street investment bank, Patricia
wanted nothing more than to work as a foreign correspondent. So, that's
just what she did, moving to Mongolia after landing an internship at the
country's national TV station. Live from Mongolia follows Patricia's
unlikely journey from Wall Street to Ulan Bator. Not only does Patricia
manage to get promoted to anchor of the Mongolian news, she also meets
some unusual people following unusual dreams of their own. There's the
Mongolian hip-hop star who worked in London restaurants to make his
dream come true or the French corporate exec now tracking endangered
horses in the steppe. All the while, Patricia is living with Mongolian
Mormons, camping with nomads in the Gobi desert, and even crashing
Genghis Khan's 800th anniversary party. But of course Patricia has her
fair share of stumbles, including a brief return to Wall Street--even
after meeting with the president of CNN. Live from Mongolia is the
story of this ongoing journey--from a corporate career to a dream job
Patricia hadn't even imagined she would land.
