Love Lifted Me

Young Pouv had a tender heart and a curious mind. Things don’t just make themselves, she thought. Born into a Buddhist family, Pouv’s world—and her family—was ripped apart when the Khmer Rouge swept through Cambodia. Forced labor, brutal treatment, and living near starvation became her daily existence. Pouv’s questions remained. Looking into the starry night sky, she wondered Where does all this come from? Dennis Burfete was a rowdy rebel. Joining a motorcycle gang gave him a sense of power and independence. But his life became a wasteland of emptiness. Was this the best life had to offer? Dennis and Pouv’s lives were worlds apart, but they shared a common and desperate need. They each found the one and only truly satisfying Answer, and then they found each other.
