Saroo was is accidentally separated from his Indian family at a train station when he was five years old. He was able to survive on the streets of Kolkata (Calcutta) on his own for weeks before being taken to an orphanage were he was adopted by an Australian couple, John and Sue Brierley. The stories move fast and they paint a very vivid picture of the painful and stressful life he lived in his younger years and then to a different type of life he lived as he grew up. He becomes curious about where he come from and tries to put the pieces together to help him find were he grew up so one day he could go back. Very inspiring story that will put on a roller coaster ride of emotions.
