Title: In a rocket made of ice
Description: Gail Gutradt was at a crossroads in life when she learned of the Wat Opot Children's Community, begun with fifty dollars by Vietnam-era Marine Corps medic Wayne Matthysse. What was a haunted scrubland became a place of healing and respite for children with or orphaned by HIV/AIDS where they could live outside of fear or judgment and find a family. Here Gutradt gathers their disarming, funny, and deeply moving stories.
