Finding Chika: A Little Girl, an Earthquake, and the Making of a Family by Mitch AlbomMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
From the author that brought you Tuesday's with Morrie you will also enjoy this book Finding Chika. Has the same sentimental life values and life lessons that go along with both books.
Finding Chika was interesting, sweet, and sad. It's about cherishing those that you love, valuing innocence, not giving up hope, and fighting.
Mitch and his wife Janine created an orphanage center in Haiti after the tragic earthquake because so many children were left unable to take care of themselves. They fall in love with Chika and take her back home to America. They sadly learn that she has brain cancer and a disease and the doctors say she only has a few months to live. But they fight the cancer and disease and she lives on for much lnger and fights. This story is about her fight and how Mitch and Janine coped with loving someone they knew they wouldn't get to hold onto forever. Mitch and Janine were late in having kids of their own so they saw Chika as their own daughter in a way and loved her dearly.
As Mitch writes this book Chika appears every once and a while to push him to keep writting and keep going and it gives him the strength he needed to write this book.
In the audiobook there's times where there's cute recordings of Chika which was really sweet.
