In 1989, driven by a dream and the memory of her own past, Christina Noble travelled 6,000 miles to Vietnam, a country of great beauty where the terrible legacy of war is still being felt. Against extraordinary odds she opened the Christina Noble Children's Foundation, providing medical aid and schooling. Through this foundation the street children could find safety and new beginnings under the protection of 'Mama Tina'.

In this vivid and moving book Christina's story continues with the amazing tale of what she and her foundation have achieved. She takes us from the streets of Saigon to ... Read morethe children's prisons of Mongolia. Finally she returns to Dublin where she is greeted by the president of Ireland herself.

A staunch campaigner for children's rights, for Christina there are no frontiers, only a world filled with children reaching out.
