About this product

Product Information

In 1990, a young boy afflicted with cerebral palsy was born, prematurely, in Russia. His name was Vanya. His mother abandoned him to the state childcare system and he was sent to a bleak orphanage called Baby House 10. Once there, he entered a nightmare world he was not to leave for more than eight years. Housed in a ward with a group of other children, he was clothed in rags, ignored by most of the staff and given little, if any, medical treatment. He was finally, and cruelly, confined fora time to a mental asylum where he lived, almost caged, lying in a pool of his own waste on a locked ward surrounded by psychotic adults. But, that didn't stop Vanya.Even in these harsh conditions, he grew into a smart and persistent young boy who reached out to everyone around him. Two of those he reached out to--Sarah Philps, the wife of a British journalist, and Vika, a young Russian woman--realized that Vanya was no ordinary child and they began a campaign to find him a home. After many twists and turns, Vanya came to the attention of a single woman living in the United States named Paula Lahutsky. After a lot of red tape and more than onemiracle, Paula adopted Vanya and brought him to the U.S. where he is now known as John Lahutsky, an honors student at Freedom High School in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and a member of the Boy Scouts of America Order of the Arrow. In The Boy From Baby House 10 , Sarah's hus band, Alan Philps, helps John Lahutsky bring this inspiring true-life story of a small boy with a big heart and an unquenchable will to readers everywhere.

WOW what a story... Have tissues ready!!
After watching a 20/20 show on this my husband and I both had a very big interest in knowing more about this child and story. The fact that this boy has been living in the Lehigh Valley area where we are from made this story a little more near and dear to our hearts. What a challenge this boy had. It was amazing to read how far he has come. It just goes to show you that if you are determined you can reach for the stars!! This is a sad and moving book that you will not want to put down. This book really makes you look at and appreciate your childhood. Even if you didn’t have the best childhood, just comparing his being a child in Russia to growing up here in the United States you will realize just how good we have it! We are truly very fortunate!

Thought-provoking true story!
Incredible true story! How this boy is able to engage with others at such a young age through horrific living conditions is absolutely remarkable! Everyone should read this book. Makes us truly thankful for our lives here in America!

The Boy from Baby House 10
Very good book, recommended for people of all ages. Really tears your heart out, but good for everyone to see how the writer was such an overcomer in such adverse circumstances!
