The Orphan Keeper Camron Wright Books

This book tells the incredible true story of Taj Rowland, who was kidnapped in his youth and sold to an orphanage in India. The corruption and heartbreak in that poverty stricken country and the journey that eventually led him home, is nothing less than miraculous!

This book is an easy read—a beautifully written 'page turner' that's both heartbreaking and heartwarming—a story that definitely needed to be told. Its a story that touches the heart and reminds the reader of the importance of family and the unbreakable bonds that tell us 'who we are' and connect us forever. It's about finding the lost child inside all of us and our innate desire to know we are loved—that we belong.

The spiritual impact of this book will make you a believer in miracles and recognize the life-changing value of finding forgiveness, letting go of anger, and embracing the good that comes with tragedy. There are aspects of Taj's story that will never be known, answers that remain a mystery to this day. Yet, family is where your heart is and the impact of choosing our path and making the best of what we have regardless of what happens to us, is a powerful message of unconditional love and hope. We can choose forgiveness. We can choose to help others less fortunate than us. We can choose happiness.

The Orphan Keeper Camron Wright Books Reviews

This book tugs your heart strings & holds you focused till the last word & picture in the book. The struggles one who is adopted are explained extremely well. We thank Taj for his honesty. This wonderful story will touch many, many hearts.
To parallel this to Saroo Brierley's A Long Waý Home (Lion) is a complement to both. Heroically both men fought their way back looking for beginnings, their biological mothers, to know who they were.

Taj had stages of grief, anger, denying, acceptance, rebuilding and integrating of who he was with who he had become. He made something good from a dire situation. The nawing inside of him, while buried inside deep, cannot be dealt with until he acknowledges he is NOT who he thinks he is American, Christian, unlucky, undisciplined, goalless, drifting.

Taj once he faces his demons and is welcomed into London's Indian culture finds questions that need answers. His pandoras box and the race is on. This ordinary man finds his beginning and his upbringing have molded an extraordinary individual that finds his dharma.

Taj exorcizes his past language, culture, memories early on for ten years he has nothing but a mental map to draw on. Everyone loves a puzzle and along the way he finds the help he needs to put his life together the old he'd been snatched from. He did not use technology to aid his search the way Saroo did.

These two children have very similar personalities and characteristics.

Both books restore faith in humankind, while acknowledging there are some bad people that traffic and exploit children and their families. We all like a good ending...both men are on their way and are works in progress. Well done!!
This book is based on real life events which are nothing short of miraculous, however, I found the story lacking in many ways. The book is about a young boy who is kidnapped while growing up in India and sold to an American family, the Rowlands, after living for a short time in an Indian orphanage. The Rowland family does not know for sure that he was kidnapped and try to get to the bottom of things by searching for someone who can shed some light on his ordeal. After growing up with what seems like a nice enough family (we never learn much about his childhood years because the story jumps ahead) he travels abroad for college and begins a quest to find his birth family all the while asking himself, "Who am I?" Taj never really knows where he fits in the world which is common for adoptees from foreign countries.

The character development was poor partially because book abruptly skips ahead approximately 10 years between the time Taj (Chellamuthu - his Indian given name) comes to live with his new family and graduates from high school. His relationship and formative years have little to no substance, and it is difficult as a reader to fully understand his emotional and intellectual development throughout those years. I don't know if the writer did this intentionally because it based on true life events, and perhaps Taj or his family did not want those details shared. Because the pacing is so quick I never got to know or understand any of the characters - his American parents, his American siblings, his wife, his birth parents, his in-laws - basically everyone! The time jumps took away from what could have been a heart wrenching, yet beautiful story. It just needed to slow down or provide more nuance and detail. It's almost like the novel is an outline of an kidnapped/orphaned child's life, with haphazard details sprinkled in to move the story through Taj's major life milestones. But I wanted more. I wanted a meatier more detailed account of who he is and what his life was like. I also did not find him particularly likable. He often came across as selfish and abrupt, always wanting what he wants when he wants it. But knowing the story is true was what ultimately made me finish the book. But even the ending was awkward and as a result, underwhelming. Which is sad because Taj's story itself is incredibly interesting and quite miraculous so I blame the writing for making this an often dull read.

I highly recommend Wright's other book The Rent Collector. That was a five star novel!
