This book was an incredible story about a man that was lost as a boy and over 2 decades later took the time to find where he was from. Its a wonderful memoir with stories you would not believe could happen to such a young boy. The ending is very heartwarming and it leaves you wanting to research more about Saroo's journey.

"While I don't have any urge to convert that into religious belief, I feel strongly that from my being a little lost boy with no family to becoming a man with two, everything was meant to happen just the way it happened. And I am profoundly humbled by that thought." p 273

This quote is important to the person's journey because the only reason Saroo went on his journey was to find his home and his family. He had no religious reason to go on it, he did it for himself. To think he was once a young boy wondering the streets because he lost his family, to being a man that gained a new family plus finding the one he was apart from for so long is incredible.
