Bridge Across My Sorrows

Product Description

Christina Noble's story is one of bravery & resilience in the face of deprivation & abuse on a scale that most would find unimaginable. Her childhood in the Dublin slums barely merits the name: after the early death of her mother her family was split apart her alcoholic father unable to care for his children. Christina was sexually abused & later escaped from an orphanage to live in poverty on the streets of Dublin. Whilst in an abusive marriage in a dream she found the will to fight. Christina's hope lay in a determination to work among the bui doi the street children of Vietnam & this was the starting point for the most extraordinary part of her story. Within two years of arriving in Ho Chi Minh City she had opened a medical & social centre & achieved worldwide fame. Outspoken often angry yet profoundly moving Bridge Across my Sorrows is one of the most inspirational stories ever told.
