Great story wrapped in a short book. It details the treacherous journey of not only a 5 year old as he leaves his home in India, but also the exhausting journey of a 30 year old as he finds his way back to that home.
Written as a memoir, this starts as a heart breaking story. It is easy to read, but gripping in detail and frustrating in fact.
It has become the 2017 Oscar nominated movie - Lions.

Jeannie This was so heartbreaking! It is hard to believe he survived.


♥ Sandi ❣	Yes Jeannie he was a tough little boy and even tougher in his search for home and family. This type of memoir is the best.
