This book is about adoption, prejudice and the ravages of war. It is about one woman's successful battle against prejudice which made it possible for her to save one precious life. It is about a little boy who managed to survive the ravages of war and travel half way across the world to a loving family in America. It is about the compassion and concern of a young teen age boy who cared so much about others in need that he agreed to accept a child he'd never met as part of his family.

This book is about the tragic and deadly affects of war on both civilians and warriors living in the midst of the battle ground and on other warriors' loved ones who are living thousands of miles away from the battle ground. It is about veterans who form organizations that help needy veterans/former warriors and their families in this country as well as those living in the former battle ground. It is about organizations that fight hard to prevent more wars. Unfortunately, the battle against wars has yet to be won.

Finally, this book is about compassion, compassion in action.

Many thanks to friends Ann Drozda and Vietnam veteran Larry E. McGinnis for their awesome illustrations.
