Over the course of 70 years, Wallace<U+2019>s work changed countless lives and influenced national policy in both Haiti and the United States. For his contributions, he was decorated with the National Order of Honor and Merit, Haiti<U+2019>s highest honor. As told by Wallace<U+2019>s granddaughter, this eloquent biography reveals the life of a complex man and his adopted country, painting a picture of hope and mercy vastly different from the often-grim stories shared about the island nation and her people. -- from Amazon.
