Meet Chantal Jauvin, a Philadelphia author, for the presentation of “The Boy with a Bamboo Heart” published by Maverick House. The book was recently launched in Bangkok and is available in South East Asia, U.K. and Ireland.
The book reveals Dr. Amporn Wathanavongs’ journey from the depths of poverty and isolation as an orphan to becoming a respected philanthropist in Thailand. It is an inspirational story which will appeal to everyone who yearns for an everyday hero.
On writing the book Ms. Jauvin said, “I had to acquire the skin of an orphan who begged for his food, carried and used a rifle as a boy soldier, took the vows of a monk, and dedicated himself to social work. I hope to have successfully captured the life of a man who had the courage to survive and thrive against tremendous odds and define for himself what belonging really means.”
The presentation will begin at 7:15pm followed by a question and answer period. The book will be available for purchase. If you would prefer an advance copy, the book is available on all e-platforms such as Kindle, Nook, Kobo and iTunes. If you have any questions, please email the author at chantal.jauvin@gmail.com.
