One of the best books you'll ever read, an inspiring story, I wish he would write a follow up 20 years later. You'll read this in 24 hours, you won't want to put it down

I missed this book.

I read this book when it first came out around 15 or so years ago. The story really truly touched me and I regret the fact that I did not purchase the book at that time. (Read a library edition) Since then, I moved to a completely different region of the world, and am anxious to get my new used copy sent to me so I can pour into a story that I've been longing to read again, since I've been trying to procure a copy of it for 10 years now! If you are considering purchasing this book - don't hesitate. It is THAT good.

An amazing and very touching impact on the reader.

I read this book when I was only fifteen years old and, still, ten years later and of all the books I've read since it is the only book that still stands out in my mind. I have searched high and low for it since but have not been able to locate a copy. It's a shame because it is hard to find such writing from the heart these days.

Awesome story of a man helping Vietnamese orphans

This story will have you laughing, crying and wishing there was some way that you could have helped care for all the orphans. From the very beginning when Paul meets the nuns and the orphans, you will anxiously continue turning the pages to see what happens next. My favorite part of the book is the growing relationship between Paul and Thom. It is a beautiful book and will leave you wondering what Paul is doing now.
