Summary
A moving and inspirational true story of survival and triumph against incredible odds. It celebrates the importance of never letting go of what drives the human spirit - hope.
When Saroo Brierley used Google Earth to find his long-lost home town half a world away, he made global headlines.
Saroo had become lost on a train in India at the age of five. Not knowing the name of his family or where he was from, he survived for weeks on the streets of Kolkata, before being taken into an orphanage and adopted by a couple in Australia.
Despite being happy in his new family, Saroo always wondered about his origins. He spent hours staring at the map of India on his bedroom wall. When he was a young man the advent of Google Earth led him to pore over satellite images of the country for landmarks he recognised. And one day, after years of searching, he miraculously found what he was looking for.
Then he set off on a journey to find his mother.

Excellent Memoir.....Truly Inspiring.
This audiobook was brilliant. It featured a memoir of triumph over adversity and the persistence of the spirit within the realms of the goodness of humanity. It is a must listen to and is highly recommended. It of course, was more informative than the movie, Lion. The audiobook was excellently narrated by Vikas Adam who gave a wonderful performance.
