School reunions come and go for most of us, leaving our lives relatively untouched. But in 2014, a school reunion was held that changed the lives of its attendees.
Deep in the jungles of the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia, graduates of a mission boarding school gathered at the school for the first time as adults.
They were there to assess how their time at the school had changed their lives as children and affected the adults they became.
Sent is a collection of their stories, in their own words.
This is a powerful book. 42 stories have been collected. They may make you cry, they may make you think deeply about what you believe, and what sort of parent you are or will be. You will see how the deep convictions of parents can shape the lives of their children in unintended ways.
