Synopsis: Dr. Pietro Bartolo has worked on Lampedusa for more than 25 years. He has been responsible for the Island's clinic and reception for immigrants fleeing their home countries because of persecution and/or extreme poverty. His book is an eyewitness account of tragedy and hope. The stories have been put down on paper as Dr. Bartolo recalls them. The are told without filter or embellishment. The book is terribly sad, painful, revealing, but ultimately, because of the Lampedusans and their untiring helpers, redeeming. From deepest loss, sometimes there is joy. I believe this book should impact the lives of the readers.
