Never Alone,
SPCK 2006, by Cecily Paterson
David was a very sick four-year old orphan in a Palestinian hospital, dying of measles and pneumonia, when he was found by Lora Claydon, an Australian missionary. She rescued him and became his guardian but their life together was neither peaceful nor easy as they literally dodged bullets and escaped destroyers on their way back to Australia in wartime. David grew up lonely and disconnected, never knowing who his parents were, or where he came from, but he knew God's love from an early age and held onto it for all he was worth. Together, David and Robyn have had a tremendous international ministry through Scripture Union, the Lausanne movement and CMS.
Never Alone was shortlisted for the Australian Christian Book of the Year award in 2006.
This book is available at Koorong and Moore Books and in the US at Equality Depot.
