A tender reminder to hold your children close and cherish them while you have them. I recommend the audiobook version! The author includes audio files that aren't in the print version.

The journalist/author and his wife take over the operation of a Haitian orphanage. A little girl who ends up there develops a brain cancer, so they take her into their home and their hearts. He's a good writer, so the story is heartwarming and sad. But knowing others who volunteer at orphanages in Haiti, I know there are many children in need of help, and he doesn't really highlight that. My mom liked this, I think in part because of the strong Christian orientation. The audio book includes recordings of Chika.

Celebrating the short life of one little girl. Have your tissues ready. Great as an audio book - read by the author and including brief recordings of Chika's voice.
