Description: The riveting story of Conor Grennan's year in Nepal reads like a cross between Into Thin Air and Three Cups of Tea. While volunteering at an orphanage, Conor discovers that the children are not orphans: they are trafficked. Despite the danger, Conor treks up dirt paths with photographs of the children, miraculously reuniting dozens of families.

Review: This book was on the recommended read book before my trip in 2013. My month long visit to a school and orphanage was all i hoped and expected. Your book helped so much by opening my mind before I got there. It was everything you described. I had just read the book again three years later and it brought back so many memories. Happy and sad. Thank you for writing this truly realistic portrait of the trials these children face everyday. I wish I could return as you did but age and illness prevent me. Will just have to read my diary and your book periodically to savour the memories. Thank you.

Review: Well written but as with all charity books this is no different.....same old story.....rich middle class adult with a good job and well paid with rich parents to scrounge off to help with the kids of Nepal....I dont think this book would have been written if the author had been unemployed and on jobseekers.....now that would be an acheivement to start a charity and get the money whilst on income support....but no the author had resources and money.....so no sense of struggle to find the money to pay for flights to and from Nepal to USA.....as usual the money side of this book was invisible so it all happened chocolate box style with no sense of.....oh I cant pay for lets say the porters wages cause I havnt got the money.....or will have to wait or save up to get flight back to usa....it all just happened with no idea of the cost of anything.....all neatly hidden away.....no breakdown anywhere of the cost and I asked next gen nepal for help to start an orphanage myself and predictably was blanked because like every other charity they can only see GREED for money donations and wont help anyone unless that happens.....so not surprised author managed to help as he was wealthy and had contacts in the echleons of power.....on about 40,000 salary at least....so if he was toilet cleaner on £7.50 an hour then I would give him credit for acheiving the whole nepal thing but no silver spoon kid who had the luxuery of spending money without the worry of how he was gonna feed himself on £10 for a week....
