In Those Who Passed By, veteran missionary Eleanor Turnbull traces the story of Haiti's development by what happens along the Kenscoff Road and those who travel its bumps and curves. Throughout her nearly 70 years working in development and rural medical care, Eleanor met countless men and women who were just "passing by." She soon learned that many of them had been "sent" for a greater purpose. Some came for research, others to find themselves: a wise few sought to widen their worldview. Each of them left an indelible mark on Haiti and her people. These are their stories.
