content: This book is a collection of 20 short real-life stories that took place in India. The stories are about street children, women, tribal homeless and destitute people and those living with leprosy and HIV. These stories show the spirit of human beings to overcome insurmountable difficulties with courage, resilience, optimism, humanism, and hope. This is a great read, specially for those in "developed countries", it gives a powerful and gripping insight into the lives of unfortunate people. Read this to understand how crippling poverty, discrimination, illiteracy, etc. can be, and the human being's determination to seek a better life in the face of these enormous suffering.The previous reviewer complained about the grammar, the grammar is indeed wrong at few places, but, it's not too bad to make the reading/understanding the stories impossible.
