Praise for Rachel Pieh Jones' previous title, Stronger than Death: 

A searing account of a person, place, deadly disease, unspeakable violence, and, ultimately, faith, love, and sacrifice. --Booklist

My life has been shaped by the examples of faith heroes: Dorothy Day, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X. In this book, Rachel Pieh Jones introduces me to one more – Annalena Tonelli. Her example of immersive, selfless service combined with learning from different traditions should inspire us all.--Eboo Patel, author of Acts of Faith, founder and president, Interfaith Youth Core

As well as telling a compelling story with great skill, this absorbing and clear-eyed examination of the work of one of East Africa’s greatest humanitarians, based on her letters and interviews with her closest associates, also highlights the cultural challenges faced by even the most dedicated worker. Rachel Pieh Jones raises questions about motive and consequence, as well as perception and jealousy, that resonate well beyond the fascinating life she describes. --Richard Barrett, director of the Global Strategy Network and former director of global counter-terrorism at MI6

A meticulously detailed and empathetic work on a woman whose life should not be forgotten. --Mary Harper, BBC World Service, author Getting Somalia Wrong?
