238 pages. EX-LIBRARYWhen the first shell fell on the elegant spa town of Lipik, it hit the roof of t he town's stately orphanage. Within three months Lipik had been destroyed, the p eople killed or driven from their homes, and the orphans had been evacuated unde r fire to another part of Croatia.

Nor did he r ealize that he would meet and fall in love with the beautiful, troubled young do ctor of Lipik, Marina Topi'c, who had just returned from fighting for her people . When Marina was rushed into hospital and told she could die within months, her one wish was to see the ruined orphanage rebuilt to its former glory. Colonel C ook made a promise to her and the children to rebuild their home. Starting with the help of volunteer British soldiers, clearing rubble in their spare time, he brought the project to the attention of the world, eventually raising #1 million . Slowly, amidst the ashes of Lipik, the building rose like a pink palace. 16 mo nths after making his promise, Colonel Cook saw the children moved back into a b uilding which had become a symbol of hope. During the project his life changed b eyond anything he had ever imagined.

This is a story of determination and achievement amidst despair and destruction.…
