If you're looking for a special Mother's Day gift for yourself, your mother, or your daughter, consider Wish You Happy Forever.
It's the story of Jenny Bowen, a mother who acted on her compassion to change the lives of thousands of Chinese children. Bowen founded Half The Sky Foundation, now a GG-recommended charity.
Jenny Bowen and her husband were fiftyish empty nesters who adopted Maya, a sad, vacant-looking little Chinese toddler in 1997.
One year later, Maya was vibrant and playful, running in the backyard with new-found American friends.
And Jenny thought then -- I know what I'm going to do with the rest of my life - bring Maya's miracle to China.
.
Wish You Happy Forever describes with stories, pictures, and proverbs how this mother, -- who had previously written and directed independent films, never been to China, and spoke no Chinese,-- began revolutionizing the care in Chinese orphanages, becoming a partner in child welfare institutions with the Chinese government.
Enough shovels of earth, a mountain; enough pails of water, a river.
What an inspiration to us all. Happy Mother's Day!
