From Saroo Brierley comes an extraordinary and deeply moving true story of survival, identity, and the unbreakable pull of home.

As a five-year-old boy in India, Saroo became separated from his older brother and accidentally boarded a train that carried him thousands of kilometres away from everything he knew. Lost and alone, he survived on the streets before being placed in an orphanage and eventually adopted by a family in Australia.

Growing up in a loving home, Saroo never forgot his past—but with no clear memory of where he came from, finding his way back seemed impossible.

Years later, driven by determination and fragments of childhood memories, he turned to modern technology—using Google Earth to search for the place he lost.

What followed was an emotional and life-changing journey to rediscover his origins and reunite with the family he had lost.

Heartbreaking, inspiring, and unforgettable, this memoir explores belonging, resilience, and the enduring connection between past and present.
