Every journalist has a story that stays with them. And everyone has the power to make a difference.</p><p>From rural Queensland to rural China, China Baby Love is the story of moving mountains, one shovel at a time. Former foreign correspondent and host of ABC TVs One Plus One, Jane Hutcheon introduces us to Linda Shum, a not-so-ordinary grandmother and widow from Gympie whose compassion for Chinas forgotten children inspired her to create an unlikely empire.</p><p>The story of COAT (Chinese Orphans Assistance Team) and Lindas quest to help orphans, many with multiple disabilities, reveals the hidden human aftermath of the One-Child Policy. A tentative visit to an orphanage in a small Chinese city turned into many over a period of twenty years. Lindas curiosity transformed into sheer determination to battle superstition, bureaucracy and a constant lack of funds, to found foster homes and a special needs school that has transformed hundreds of lives, including her own.</p><p>What Jane intended as a five-minute human interest segment in a news broadcast inspired an unexpected friendship and the writing of a book that would take Jane back to China. Through the story of Linda Shums life and work, Jane gets to the heart of some painful truths behind modern Chinese families living in a one-party state.</p>...3779881China Baby Love296348https://www.gandhi.com.mx/china-baby-love-9781460705070/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2501797/36601527-b6c9-4ad1-bc7c-0e68ff628888.jpg?v=638384062927370000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20179781460705070_W3siaWQiOiJkNWVlYmMwMC0xNjc3LTRmODItYmQ0Ni1jMmY5MzdiZDUyMWMiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjMyMCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjQ4LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjI3MiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMjhUMjA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781460705070_<p>How one woman turned her life upside down to help those who needed it most - half a world away.</p><p>Every orphan comes with a story.
