Summary
The New York Times best-selling true story of an all-American girl and a boy from Zimbabwe and the letter that changed both of their lives forever. It started as an assignment. Everyone in Caitlin's class wrote to an unknown student somewhere in a distant place.
Martin was lucky to even receive a pen-pal letter. There were only 10 letters, and 50 kids in his class. But he was the top student, so he got the first one. That letter was the beginning of a correspondence that spanned six years and changed two lives. In this compelling dual memoir, Caitlin and Martin recount how they became best friends - and better people - through their long-distance exchange. Their story will inspire you to look beyond your own life and wonder about the world at large and your place in it.

Fantastic! Loved the story and 2 perspectives
Absolutely loved this book! It gives a tiny insight into what life in Africa is really like and the differences with the US.
Loved the emotions and the story telling was great with authentic accents - a very enjoyable listen

A story about human kindness and dignity
I loved the story and Martin's performance. The voice of Caitlin was irritating and sounded unnatural. It was nice to hear about generous and non-racist Americans in contrast to the usual images. It was sad to remember that Martin's early condition of absolute poverty is still shared by millions of people around the world.
