Mitch Albom has done it again. This book, about a little Haitian girl named Chika, explores the true story of a child from Albom's mission in Haiti, who is stricken with a deadly brain tumor at the age of 5. Albom and his wife Janine bring her to America and desperately seek treatment. Chika becomes their child in all the ways that matter, and the reader grows to love her as well.

This book was received as an ARC from HarperCollins Publishers in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I have always been a Mitch Albom fan from his sportscasting to his books such as Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet In Heaven. This book made me an even bigger fan of him because it showed his loving vulnerable side and how much love he has in his heart for taking care of Chika. This book is a prime example of how reaching out can lead to your life changing for the better and your heart becomes more full just like how Mitch's did while taking care of Chika. Flying down to Hati and visiting the orphanage changed Mitch's life for the better and if this book does not warm your heart, I do not know what will. This book also has a happy ending, and I like happy endings.

We will consider adding this title to our Biography collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.
