This book tells of the boundless love of a little boy and girl, twice abandoned, and their endless longing for a mother---of the hopes and heartaches they experienced as they traveled the world in their quest. Would it be Fatima, the young Moslem girl in Turkey. Her parents arranged for her marriage to end the love she had found. Could it be Robin, the lonely young Chinese teacher at the orphanage in Taiwan? Blind and orphaned since the age of three,lonely Robin remembered the story of an old song and pinned a note on the school gate. The words she wrote were: "Someone please find me. Please love me. Let me love you." And miraculously someone did. Huang, the school's groundskeeper, is so grotesquely deformed that few people can bear to look at him. Robin and huang's friendship provides both of them the human connection they need. Both devout Christian, Robin and Rex grow closer, while Huan takes to lurking about, fearful that Rex will steal away his only friend.
