An Extraordinary Story of Love, Resilience and the Transformative Power of Community

When Jo McGowan-Chopra, an American woman living in India, adopts baby Moy Moy, born with multiple disabilities and given little chance of survival, she has no idea how profoundly their lives will change. An intimate story of a mother and her child grows into something far larger: Latika, a pioneering organisation.

Latika transforms lives – those of children with developmental disabilities, their families, and its employees. Over a quarter of a century, thousands of children and their parents have benefited from its affordable and high-quality services, delivered with respect and compassion.

But this is not just the story of one child or one non-profit. Moy Moy’s story is a testament to the extraordinary potential of the human spirit. It shows how, when we listen to those the world overlooks, we discover deep truths: that care is a form of courage, dignity is a universal right, and hope and hard work can bring about miracles. For anyone who has ever wondered how one life can make a difference, this book offers a moving and inspiring answer.
