Three Cups of Tea Chapter 11 Summary

How It All Goes Down

Six Days

  • Back in the States, Mortenson moves in with ol' Dudzinski again, and who should knock on his slum door one night but Marina.
  • She tries to win him back, but he refuses. "The door is closed" (11.16), he says… and closes the door.
  • Mortenson meets up with Jean Hoerni and George McCown at the American Himalayan Foundation fundraising dinner to raise funds of his own.
  • That's not the only thing raised, though, since Mortenson also meets Tara Bishop, and it's love at first site.
  • He takes her home and they're married six days later.
  • Everyone is shocked, but they're both sure they did the right thing.
