Be Charmed by These Bewitching Books from 2025
Jeannie asked this question about The Orphan Keeper:
Just watched a short documentary on Taj's story which got me to read the book. In the nonfiction version, being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon) plays a significant part of his life; in fact his time in London was as a missionary not a university student. Wondering why the author is reluctant to bring some of that out, even to shying away from mentioning that he lived in Utah?

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints myself it was joyful to watch the documentary, to hear more about Taj Roland's life. To see Taj's beautiful wife Priya, his adoptive parents, birth family and the orphanage location in India. I love so much about this book and Taj's Miraculous Story. I especially found the landowner, Mrs. Iyer and her great compassion she shared with Taj's birth mother and then his daughters as an indication to me of one of the many messages of Christlike Love that we as Christians believe but people the world over feel and live in their own way. My understanding of Dharma from the book; fulfilling ones Duty, doing Good unto Others, being Virtuous. Very similar to our Christian teachings. I think this is the type of message that Camron Wright wanted to share with people of all Faiths. That is my 2 cents :) (less)
