  The Greek Famine of World War II...

  In the autumn of 1940, Greece found itself thrust into the chaos of World War II when Italian forces, under the command of Benito Mussolini, launched an invasion from Albania. Despite being outnumbered and under-equipped, Greek forces mounted a formidable defense, pushing the Italians back and even advancing into Albanian territory. This unexpected success humiliated Mussolini and prompted Adolf Hitler to intervene, leading to a swift German invasion in April 1941. Within weeks, Greece had fallen under Axis control, divided between Germany, Italy, and Bulgaria. 
  The occupation marked the beginning of a dark chapter in Greek history. The country was strategically important, but the Axis powers showed little interest in the welfare of the population. The division of the territory resulted in inconsistent governance and exploitation. The Germans controlled key cities and transportation networks, while the Italians managed the majority of the countryside. Bulgaria, seeking territorial expansion, aggressively imposed policies of assimilation in northern regions. Each occupying force pursued its own interests, often at the expense of the Greek people. 
  From the earliest days of occupation, the signs of impending crisis were clear. The agricultural economy, already fragile, was disrupted by war and commandeered by the Axis to support their military campaigns. Transportation networks were dismantled or redirected to serve occupying forces, cutting off essential supply chains. Coastal blockades, imposed by the British to weaken the Axis, unintentionally contributed to the strangulation of Greek imports, especially food. The result was a country teetering on the edge of economic and social collapse.

  Best-selling author Mitch Albom returns to nonfiction for the first time in more than a decade in this poignant memoir that celebrates Chika, a young Haitian orphan whose short life would forever change his heart. Performed by Mitch Albom with Chika’s voice featured throughout.  
  Chika Jeune was born three days before the devastating earthquake that decimated Haiti in 2010. She spent her infancy in a landscape of extreme poverty, and when her mother died giving birth to a baby brother, Chika was brought to The Have Faith Haiti Orphanage that Albom operates in Port Au Prince.  
  With no children of their own, the 40-plus children who live, play, and go to school at the orphanage have become family to Mitch and his wife, Janine. Chika’s arrival makes a quick impression. Brave and self-assured, even as a three-year-old, she delights the other kids and teachers. But at age five, Chika is suddenly diagnosed with something a doctor there says “no one in Haiti can help you with.”  
  Mitch and Janine bring Chika to Detroit, hopeful that American medical care can soon return her to her homeland. Instead, Chika becomes a permanent part of their household, and their lives, as they embark on a two-year, around-the-world journey to find a cure. As Chika’s boundless optimism and humor teach Mitch the joys of caring for a child, he learns that a relationship built on love, no matter what blows it takes, can never be lost.   
  Told in hindsight, and through illuminating conversations with Chika herself, this is Albom at his most poignant and vulnerable. Finding Chika is a celebration of a girl, her adoptive guardians, and the incredible bond they formed - a devastatingly beautiful portrait of what it means to be a family, regardless of how it is made.

  At an age when most are aiming for retirement, Bob Higgins moved to Uganda with his wife Carol. Over the course of fourteen years, they trained church leaders with the International School of Ministry video curriculum, provided clean water to rural communities, and ran a mobile clinic while establishing a home for children orphaned by rebel warfare in Northern Uganda. Initially resistant to the idea of taking on the continual care of so many orphans, their Otino Waa Children's Village soon became home to hundreds of children. Bob's retelling of the origins of PATH Ministries shows that God can do extraordinary things through faithful service in difficult places.
