Greg Mortenson wanted to climb Pakistan's K2 mountain in memory and honor of his deceased sister, Christa. He planned to take Christa's amber necklace and place it at the top of the mountain, but he never quite made it.

Thus, the first chapter in Mortenson's book is titled, "Failure." The book, "Three Cups of Tea," has been a New York Times best-seller for over 170 weeks, sold over four million copies, and been published in 45 countries, even though his publishers told Mortenson to never start a book with the word "failure".
