Gave up on this one. Dragging account of how disabled children in China are cared for by a missionary group.

A beautifully written and very touching account of the children who were born with disabilities and left to be cared for by the state. With kindness and sensitivity the author portrays the harsh living conditions, social stigma and deep root family beliefs that led to the abandonment of these children and how they came to be cared for by Oasis house. The story of this extraordinary children's home is a triumph of perseverance and strength of love over indifference and neglect.

Had I known beforehand what exactly the ICC was, I would not have chosen this book. I am not a Christian, and the book is definitely written for Christians. It explores a situation I am extremely sympathetic to, and I feel like they could be doing good work. But there was way too much religion in this book for me to be able to finish it. My thoughts after skimming to the end are that I think Christians will find this book moving and inspirational.
