For years I have heard the stories about Aunt Greta and Uncle Hal's adventures of performing free eye surgeries to the people of Kenya and Sierra Leone and Haiti but it was wonderful to see these poignant stories all gathered into this book. Reading about the people that Dr Bryan served over there really makes you look at yourself, what we have, what is really important, and what can we be doing to make a bigger impact in the world. Maybe we can't literally restore sight to people but, in some small way, we can help to ease suffering and provide comfort (even something as small as a red bike) to those in need.
Rating witheld due to proud niece bias.
