What an incredible life this young man has had. If this doesn't bring him to ultimate realization that God had His hand on him the whole time, than I don't know what will. I will be praying for him to reach that point. I LOVED this story and couldn't put it down. He wrote so clearly that you truly feel that you are there in India with him. God bless both of his moms and both of his families and for the people named and unnamed who helped him along the way. My only regret was to wonder if he ever married his girlfriend. Other than that, wonderful story from start to finish.

Absolutely love this book! Fell in love with the story through the movie so I had to read the book. It gives you so much more information and details missing from the movie. The story itself is surreal, so to hear first hand accounts from Saroo himself, it pulls you in. From days before he got lost, to 20+ years later scrolling through Google Maps, to finding his village and family. I also love that they added pictures, so you dont have to imagine what places, people and he looked like.

I found myself in disbelief from start to finish and couldn't put this book down.

An incredible true story of the survival of a small boy lost on the streets of Calcutta and what it took for him to find his way home decades later from Tasmania.

Moving story about how a lost 5 year old finds his way home again. A reminder that God is in the details of all our lives.
