    Yet another of Mitch Albom’s impressive, heartrending work
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2023*

“What we carry defines who we areAnd the effort we make is our legacy”  Mitch AlbomFinding Chika: A Little Girl, an Earthquake, and the Making of a Family by Mitch Albomis an emotional, moving story of love and loss.Chika Jeune was born three days after Haiti’s devastating earthquake of 2010. Her extremely poor family was dealt another tragedy when Chika’s mother died giving birth to another child. Chika, three, was brought to the Have Faith Haiti Orphanage that Albom operates in Port Au Prince.When Chika was five years old, she developed a weakness in one leg and a droopy eyelid that was later diagnosed as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, DIPG, which had already advanced to grade 4. There was no help for her in Haiti. Janine and Mitch Albom, in their late fifties and with no children of their own, brought Chika to their home in Michigan, hoping to find a cure for the little girl. They took her to C. S. MOTT Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where they performed surgery on Chika’s brain. They were able to remove only ten percent of the invading tissue because the mass involved too much of the brain. The mass was somewhat diminished by radiation, but subsequent treatments were ineffective. Twice they took her to Cologne, Germany, but the treatment received wasn’t a lasting one. In the meantime, the little girl became a cherished member of the Albom household with her bravery, self-assurance and wonderful sense of humor.Finding Chika is yet another of Mitch Albom’s impressive, heartrending work. He tells his story in hindsight, and through imagined conversations with Chika herself. The memoir shows how dedication and love can bring unimagined blessings. This would be a good audio book—it was sometimes hard to read through tears.

    A must read
  

*by Q***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2023*

There are no words to adequately describe this beautiful story.  Depending on the reader's  experiences, their reactions need to be their own.  I will not summarize it here because you must come fresh to this heartfelt story of a child.

    All the emotions in one stellar book
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2023*

I read this book in one Sunday afternoon and could not put it down. This is unlike any other book Mitch has written, and it is a true testament to the hearts of Mitch and Janine Albom. More importantly a story of one little girl who brightened my own heart and broke it at the same time. Chika was a light in this world for far too short a time. It was to me and my faith a masterpiece of hope, faith and love as well unanswered pleas, sadness and loss. The joy and mixed sorrow is part of life this side of heaven and Mitch shows us his best self through this book. You are a true father and Janine a true mother. It is no wonder to me that Tuesdays with Morrie and Finding Chika are now a permanent part of my library. You, Mr. Album are a what it means to be a real human being. If you haven't read this, you are missing a true story of a precious little girl, and the many people touched by her, and an expose of a married couple who loved her.  I am moved by emotions I forgot I had. Thank you Mitch.
