No Longer Orphans - Paperback

by Alison Cheah (Author)

Two lonely girls

Two distant continents.

Two widely dissimilar ways of life.

When twelve-year-old Jessica is orphaned, Aunt Sophia takes her to live in

California. Thrown among people who are too busy for her,

she wonders whether she will ever find a place to belong.

Then her Sunday school teacher invites her to join a trip to the Himalayas

to tell children about Jesus. Jessica doesn't know Jesus,

but she does want to see the Himalayas.

While there, she meets Sarita, a girl her own age who works in the fields

to earn her food. Sarita's life experience is so different from her own

Jessica wonders if they have anything in common.

Yet a surprise friendship grows, and Jessica learns it is not always the

person with an easy life who finds true happiness.
