This truly is a must-read. It's a life changing story, if you allow yourself to be moved.

It started with a letter
That letter changed the lives of both Martin and Caitlin. Martin had high hopes and dreams for himself that seemed insurmountable but between she and Catilin's family, they managed to make Martin's dreams come true. Caitlin got an education in another way. She learned how fortunate she was with her own family and life. The things that her peers were obsessed with were not important to Caitlin. She grew up fast in learning how people live in another part of the world and worked hard and sacrificed all she could to help.
This was such a heart-wrenching story to hear how hard Martin had to fight for just the meager existence in his community. But the story ends with hope in the end as Martin will make sure his family will be okay.
NOTE: The book was listened to and synced through Audible.com for a book club.

This was gifted to me by my grandma who buys a copy for everyone she thinks would enjoy it. I did, and read it quite quickly.
I was mostly interested in Martin's side of the story and wish more details were given but of course it's probably difficult to remember everything that happened so long ago.
