Ingrid, I just checked out Hippie Boy and it looks fantastic. I can't wait to read it. I can understand why Kite Runner is one of your favorites. Check out the book after Kite Runner, it will remind you of another story. I hope you have great success with Hippie Boy, if you don't mind I'll post it on my face book page, let me know.
Dennis
