From the writer of Haiti: The Aftershocks of Hope comes this full color illustrative companion volume HERE'S TO HAITI: Kiss America Kiss, depicting the missionary trips of Yolantha Harrison Pace and her interactions with the people of the nation. In her own words Yolantha writes: "Many of the things I see in Haiti are difficult for my heart to comprehend. I am not an artist, but in order not to cry and in order to pass the time when what I have witnessed keeps me from sleeping, I doodle. It helps to mend my broken heart. This book is full of my doodles of love for Haiti." Authored by Yolantha Harrison-Pace Designed by Neo Blaqness Illustrated by Yolantha Harrison-Pace Literary editor Neo Blaqness
