Unknown Author

4.9/5 (11228 ratings)

Description:An incredible true story of the war between Japanese and Communists for control China. However, this is primarily a humanistic story of Patsy Li, the "Child of Miracles," and her lost mother, as originally told by the late Father Frederic P. Gehring, known by the Marines as the “Padre of Guadalcanal.” He first called the child of six “Pao Pei” (Little Treasure) when the U.S. Marines and natives of Guadalcanal delivered her into his care, nearly dead, during a raging battle on the island. Padre prayed night and day, and she was saved. This is also the powerful story of a mother’s unwavering faith and courage in her ceaseless search for her lost child. In February 1942, Patsy Li, a six-year-old Chinese girl fleeing from Singapore with her mother—which was about to fall to the Japanese—was aboard a crowded evacuation ship, the S.S. Kuala. Suddenly there was a catastrophic burst of bombs, and the ship sunk. Separated and set adrift in the treacherous waters, they both somehow survived. There are many questions about this story: How did this six-year old child survive the sunken ship off Singapore? How did she end up 4,000 miles away in Guadalcanal? What caused her to come back from near-death? How could the Padre and Marines give her a name, "Patsy Li," that turned out to be really hers? Who guided the mother in her endless quest to find her daughter, nearly a decade later? Why did the all marines and sailors that were closest to Padre, survive so many attacks by the Japanese? The "real truth" has been finally revealed, and a surprising ending. Finally, the Padre gave faith and hope to thousands of disparate Marines, when everything looked hopeless on Guadalcanal.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
