Summary
Herlinger's text tells the story of post-quake Haiti through interviews with Haitian citizens and aid managers. Each interview adds a layer of understanding of the suffering of the people and of the heroic efforts to ameliorate that suffering. The narrative is set in the context of the country's history and the Haitian government's effort to repair and rebuild their nation.
