Description
Finding Chika by Mitch Albom is a memoir about the author’s journey to adopt a young Haitian orphan named Chika. Chika was born three days after the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, and she was left orphaned when her mother died in childbirth. She was brought to the Have Faith Haiti Mission and Orphanage, which Albom founded and directs.
Albom and his wife, Janine, were initially hesitant to adopt a child, but they were drawn to Chika’s spirit and determination. She was a bright and cheerful child, despite the hardships she had faced. She loved to read, write, and draw, and she had a gift for making people laugh.
However, Chika was also diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor. Albom and Janine brought her to the United States for treatment, but there was nothing that could be done to save her. Chika died in 2016 at the age of 7.
Finding Chika is a story of love, loss, and hope. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always light to be found. It is also a testament to the power of family, no matter how it is formed.
The book has been praised for its honesty, its emotional power, and its message of hope. It has been called “a beautiful and heartbreaking story” and “a reminder that love can conquer all.”
If you are looking for a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it, then Finding Chika is a must-read. It is a story that will touch your heart and make you believe in the power of love.
