Produktbeschreibung
Through the true story of Wallace Turnbull, one of Haiti's pioneers in development and missions, Say To These Mountains takes readers on a journey where grace and beauty shine into even the tightest crevices of brokenness, poverty, and loss.

Over the course of 70 years, Wallace's work changed countless lives and influenced national policy in both Haiti and the United States. For his contributions, he was decorated with the National Order of Honor and Merit, Haiti's highest honor.

As told by Wallace's granddaughter, this eloquent biography reveals the life of a complex man and his adopted country, painting a picture of hope and mercy vastly different from the often-grim stories shared about the island nation and her people.

"How many children, how many elderly, how many generations were touched-how many survived-because of the work the Pastor has done?" -President Michel Martelly of Haiti during the bestowing of the Order of Honor and Merit to Wallace Turnbull

Autorenporträt
Elizabeth Turnbull was born and raised in Haiti where she grew up surrounded by the sights and sounds brought to life in her Haitian children's stories. As a young child she would spend hours snuggled in the laps of her parents and older brothers while they would read a story to her. One of her greatest joys was learning to read and having the power to unleash the stories for herself. Elizabeth went on to study Spanish and Journalism at Wake Forest University and receive her MA in Latin American and Caribbean Studies from Florida International University. Today, she is the Senior Editor for Light Messages Publishing. She is the author of three children's books about Haiti: Janjak and Freda Go to the Citadelle, Janjak and Freda Go to the Iron Market and Good Night Goat/Bonnwit Kabrit. Her biography of Wallace Turnbull's lifelong ministry in rural Haiti, Say to This Mountain, won an IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award gold medal. Elizabeth lives on a budding farm in Hillsborough, NC, with her family. Connect with her online at torchflamebooks.com/elizabeth-turnbull. Follow her on Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest @ejturnbull.
