It Takes a Town to Raise an Orphan

ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography

Pages : 0
Book Description
Life is most definitely what you make of it. Jimmy Brown didn't have a head start or any say on where his life began. He had only two and one-half years with a caring mother before she disappeared from his life due to her inheritance of chromosomes that slowly took over her nervous system-known today as Huntington's Chorea-before she died. Jimmy Brown's story tells how the residents of a small town in the Midwest embraced him in his growing-up years as an orphan. They showed compassion and built unbreakable bonds as Jimmy struggled to leave his only friends at the orphanage and identify with a family after the loss of his mother. His story touches the heart and reminds the reader that love and sharing can make a huge difference in a person's life. Finding the lost child inside all of us and our desires to know we belong and are loved are important elements in any relationship, but especially for an orphan boy. Jimmy wrote this book with the intent to explain the importance of where he came from, who he is, where he'll go, and how every orphaned child can experience a fulfilling journey with a love-filled life, even from strangers. This is an easy read for boys aged 11-17 and for their caregivers. No matter how far Jimmy Brown travels, a little piece of home will always follow. It Takes A Town to Raise an Orphan Boy is Jimmy's second book in a three-book series.
