Abstract/Summary The extraordinary story of a boy who lost his mother, and twenty-five years later found her on Google. Five-year-old Saroo's elder brothers worked as sweepers in local trains to help their struggling mother. One day, they took him with them, but exhausted little Saroo fell asleep on a train. When he awoke, he was in Calcutta, surrounded by a crowd of strangers. Saroo, poor and illiterate, neither knew his last name nor that of the town he came from. In a single night he had lost his entire family and joined Calcutta's countless children who had nowhere to call home. Saroo's story tells of his childhood in Khandwa, in Madhya Pradesh, and his days as a street boy in Calcutta; of his miraculous adoption by an Australian couple and, twenty-five years after losing her, Saroo's search for his mother - via Google - and their ultimate reunion.
