Seven-year-old Chellamuthu's life - and his destiny - is forever changed when he is kidnapped from his village in Southern India and sold to the Lincoln Home for Homeless Children. His family is desperate to find him, and Chellamuthu anxiously tells the Indian orphanage that he is not an orphan, he has a mother who loves him. But he is told not to worry, he will soon be adopted by a loving family in America.
Chellamuthu is suddenly surrounded by a foreign land and a foreign language. He can't tell people that he already has a family and becomes consumed by a single impossible question: How do I get home? But after more than a decade, home becomes a much more complicated idea as the Indian boy eventually sheds his past and receives a new name: Taj Khyber Rowland.
It isn't until Taj meets an Indian family who help him rediscover his roots - as well as marrying Priya, his wife, who helps him unveil the secrets of his past - that he begins to discover the truth he has all but forgotten. Taj is determined to return to India and begin the quest to find his birth family. But is it too late? Is it possible that his birth mother is still looking for him? And which family does he belong to now?
From the best-selling author of The Rent Collector, this is a deeply moving and gripping journey about discovering oneself and the unbreakable family bonds that connect us forever.

Story is good one, but found the writing a bit clunky in the middle.
Simon Vance ,as usual, brings the whole thing to life so well.

Simon Vance is a brilliant narrator and did a flawless job of navigating all the accents amazingly.
I knew from ads that the main character found his family again, but I could just never imagine how it would all happen. I have seen the question on reviews sometimes: Was this a book you wanted to listen to in one sitting. The overwhelming answer to this question is YES!! When I had to go back to work it was a burden and I could hardly get back to it quickly enough. I bought it on the Kindle and Audible and switched back and forth so I could finish it more quickly and still be with others. I avoided co-workers to keep the story going through lunch. I so enjoyed it.
I wish such wonderful endings for all lost children or parents with lost children.
Amazing tale of Love, Loss, Miracles & Reunions
