During a travel in Romania as a social clown, in October 2006, together with my friends we visited an institute hosting orphaned. The children were more than a hundred and the service staff in total counted no more than six people.

Something broke and, at the same time, something was born in me. It was a new awareness that, left for years at the bottom of my heart, day after day, pulse after pulse, helped me in writing this audiobook.

When you listen to the stories, you might shake your head and wonder how and why our family had so many crazy adventures. The short answer...my eccentric, animal-loving dad, and my incredibly kind and gracious mom.
