“A powerful, important book for our age.”
—Abraham Verghese, author Cutting For Stone
Passionately written by journalist Marilyn Berger, This is a Soul is the moving and inspiring story of Dr. Rick Hodes, an American doctor living in Ethiopia, who has devoted his life to caring for the sickest of the sick and the poorest of the poor. Dr. Hodes’s life and work makes for fascinating reading, especially for those who have been profoundly touched by Tracy Kidder’s Mountains Beyond Mountains.

A bio of a doctor who dedicated his life to saving sick children in Ethiopia. The middle dragged, but only because of the sheer # of similar circumstances.

“Refugees rarely say thank you, so people who expect gratitude are soon disillusioned...50 percent for flexibility, 50 percent for ability to work with others, and the other 50 percent for all other intangibles. (I realize that comes to more than 100 percent, but it‘s a big job.)”
