About this book

What if the people you went to help ended up saving you? James didn't leave his comfortable life because he had all the answers. He left because he was searching for something real. Something that would fill the emptiness he felt inside. He thought he was going to serve, to give, to make a difference in a world that desperately needed help. He was wrong.

The ones who had nothing, yet gave everything. The ones who had every reason to give up, yet never stopped hoping. The ones who showed him what love, courage, and humanity truly mean.
