Here, Saroo Brierley tells the extraordinary story behind this otherwise ordinary 32-year-old Aussie bloke, from the dirt floors of his birth home to the hills of Hobart and back again. With the advent of Google Earth, his long inquiry began to bear fruit: as the technology improved, he was, against all the odds, able to find what he thought was his home neighbourhood of Ganesh Talai - and go in search of his family. As an adult, though, he never forgot his Indian roots and kept trying to work out where he came from.

It celebrates the importance of never letting go of what drives the human spirit: hope. A Long Way Home is a moving, poignant, and inspirational true story of survival and triumph against incredible odds. After weeks of defying the odds on the city's notoriously dangerous streets, Saroo was taken in by a government agency and, after failed attempts to find his family, was miraculously adopted by an Australian couple, the Brierleys, and taken to start a new life in Hobart. One day, after years of searching, he miraculously found what he was looking for and set off to find his family. Lost and alone on an unfamiliar train, he found himself taken across the country and deposited in a strange city, unable to explain who he was or where he was from. His life was about to be utterly transformed. Publishers Description: One evening, five-year-old Saroo left his poor village home in India to watch his older brother work at the next town's train station.
