Risbek (Richard Hewitt) moved from California to Kyrgyzstan in 1994 where he taught at the Academy of Agriculture in Bishkek. The next year he started a seed project in the high mountains. One rural Kyrgyz family adopted him. In this context Risbek started noticing the similarities highlighted in this book. He spent nearly 20 years in Kyrgyzstan.
