About this ebook

The author wants the reader to know he is into LOVE – whether affecting his heart or someone else's – as is the main character in this book – who dispenses love freely – never condemning the actions of those who know nothing of its existence and the want to understand its absence. Love conquers insecurities, respect for one–self and others, fears and bullying. To exist without it is unacceptable. After the author drove away from an orphanage while visiting China – he questioned if an orphan had the right to ask for anything. The reader will travel approximately 19 years with the main character after being found on the front steps of an orphanage in an apple scented fruit box.
