About this book

Sammy Ikua Gachagua had lost his father to illness his mother to abandonment and his home to poverty. By age ten he was living in a shack with seven other children and very little food. He entered an orphanage seeing it as a miracle with three meals a day a bed to sleep in and clothes on his back. When Claire Diaz-Ortiz arrived in Kenya at the end of an around-the-world journey she decided to stay the night climb Mt. Kenya then head back home. She entered an orphanage seeing it as little more than a free place to spend the night before her mountain trek. God had other plans. Hope Runs is the emotional story of an American tourist a Kenyan orphan and the day that would change the course of both of their lives forever. It'sabout what it means to live in the now when the world is falling down around you. It's about what it means to hope for the things you cannot see. Most of all it's about how God can change your life in the blink of an eye.
