Reading a Mitch Albom book speaks to my heart in ways I never knew a book could. This memoir, as usual, did not disappoint. The tale of the Albom's journey with this beautiful little Haitian girl named Chika will break your heart but breath life into it all at the same time. It's a great reminder of how infinitely, unmeasurably, unconditionally children are so very precious and are a joy to treasure, love and protect and what great lengths most parents seek to do so.

A beautiful heartwarming memoir full of sorrow, laughter and love. Chika is a girl from Haiti who through sad circumstances comes to live in an orphanage that Mitch and his wife Janice run. She quickly makes quite an impression and becomes somewhat of a favorite. After a few years though it becomes apparent that something is unfortunately wrong with her. Mitch and Janice take Chika under their wing and welcome her into their home in the US in search for a cure.
During what is one of most trying time in their lives suddenly becomes the most wonderful as they come to realize that not only does Chika need them but they so desperately need her. She completes them and becomes the daughter they never had. And although you know the ending you still find yourself wondering how it’ll end.
Over the many year of reading Mitch Albom’s books, I’ve come to know a certain expectation and Finding Chika certainly delivers. This book will not only make you cry but it’ll also make you laugh, make you wonder and make you appreciate the little things in life. Things that only a child knows how to make you Look and see.

Sweet little story. Gets a 3 because it’s not my favorite I’ve read from this author but still a cute/sad/happy story.

Well, I cried and cried reading this book. But, I knew I would. Very well done.

Devastating.
If you choose to read this (and let me say, it is not for the faint of heart) let me suggest (or warn you) that the audiobook, read by the author, includes the sweetest audio clips of Chika throughout. Sobbing.

Heartfelt messages to a lost family member, a friend and your child. Looking forward to read Tuesdays with Morrie! Please listen to the audiobook, it offers so much more depth to the story.
