“From President Sirleaf’s heartfelt foreword, to the carefully developed resources, to the deeply personal essays, this thoughtfully curated anthology is a must-read for anybody who wants to understand the transformational power of time spent in Liberia. Each story provides a different perspective, a different moment in time for the country, but it is clear that all authors love Liberia.”
