She spent her infancy in a landscape of extreme poverty, and when her mother died giving birth to a baby brother, Chika was brought to The Have Faith Haiti Orphanage that Albom operates in Port Au Prince. With no children of their own, the forty-plus children who live, play, and go to school at the orphanage have become family to Mitch and his wife, Janine. Chika's arrival makes a quick impression. Brave and self-assured, even as a three-year-old, she delights the other kids and teachers. But at age five, Chika is suddenly diagnosed with something a doctor there says, "No one in Haiti can help you." Mitch and Janine bring Chika to Detroit, hopeful that American medical care can soon return her to her homeland. Instead, Chika becomes a permanent part of their household, and their lives, as they embark on a two-year, around-the-world journey to find a cure. As Chika's boundless optimism and humor teach Mitch the joys of caring for a child, he learns that a relationship built on love, no matter what blows it takes, can never be lost."--|cPublisher's description. 600 10 Albom, Mitch,|d1958- 600 10 Jeune, Chika,|d2010-2017. 650 0 Orphans|zHaiti|vBiography. 650 0 Orphanages|zHaiti. 650 0 Families. 650 0 Large type books. 655 0 Large type books. 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft 655 7 Large type books.|2lcsh 994 C0|bCKE
