A good telling of a wonderous story of a lifetime search Jill Meyer I'm pretty sure that almost everybody who reads this book, "Lion" by Saroo Brierley, is going to see the movie with Dev Patel. Or, has already seen it. The book, which was originally published under the title of "A Long Way Home: A Memoir", has been reissued as a tie-in for the newly released movie. "Lion" is the story of a journey a five year old boy makes by himself from his hometown in rural India, to the large city of Calcutta. . Amazing story! I saw the movie before reading the book and found the story to be very similar. There were a few changes in the movie but not many. Saroo's story is a fascinating one of tragedy, survival, hope, coincidences, luck, and a happy ending.. Dr. Lester Wills said Inspiring. An amazing story of a lost little boy in India. He was lucky enough to be adopted by a kind a loving family from Australia. But he always wanted to find his original home and birth family. A wonderful true story that became a great film.
