I just finished reading Kathie Klarreich's "Madame Dread", a fascinating memoir 
of her ten years in Haiti, and can strongly recomend it to anyone interested in 
knowing more about the intricacies of this intriguing Caribbean island. I am 
not a stranger to Haiti but I still learned so much about its beautiful culture 
and people. Kathie really got in deep and she does a great job sharing her 
personal, professional and political experiences in a time of great turmoil and 
instability. She intimately shares her personal journey, of taking incredible 
risks and developing new strengths most of us never get the chance to test in 
ourselves. Unable to speak Creole, she had the courage to settle in Haiti, and 
learned not only the language, but a new profession and a new outlook on life 
and love.
