Warm & happy story
I loved the book, as I do all Mr Merullo's stories which include Rinpoche. I only hope he continues to follow this story so we know what happens with those 'special' children.

My favorite time of day is mornings, because I read his book with my morning coffee, his wonderful stories just tug at & warm my heart .

Disappointed
The premise of the book was very intriguing, but for the most part the author did not deliver. It was a struggle to finish the last 3rd of the book and the ending felt less than credible simply because of the author's presentation -- in another's hands I could easily have accepted that story line. All in all it was generally a disappointment, with just enough little spiritual gems scattered along the way to keep you reading until the very end.
