C hika Jeune was born three days before the devastating earthquake that decimated Haiti
in 2010. She spent her infancy in extreme poverty, and when her mother died giving birth
to a baby brother, C hika was brought to the Have Faith Haiti Orphanage that Mitch and his
wife, Janine operate.
C hika's arrival made a quick impression. Brave and self-assured, even as a three-yearold,
she delighted the other kids and teachers. But at age five, C hika was suddenly
diagnosed with a terminal disease that no doctor in Haiti could help with.
Mitch and Janine took C hika to America, hoping that treatment there would enable her to
go back home. Instead, C hika became a permanent part of their lives, as they embarked
on a two-year, around-the-world journey to find a cure. As C hika's boundless optimism
and humour taught Mitch the joys of caring for a child, he learnt that a relationship built
on love, no matter what blows it takes, can never be lost.
This is Mitch Albom at his most poignant, powerful and personal. Chika is a
celebration of a girl, her adoptive guardians, and the incredible bond they
formed - a devastatingly beautiful portrait of what it means to be a family,
regardless of how it is made.
