“…..a rare window on the inner life of an aid worker….”

“Maskalyk’s soft prose is beautiful and invites with the right intimate details. He offers a rare window on the inner life of an aid worker, on what it means to be a humanitarian around the hard edges of war, and on the certain drive to go on. Why? Because in his words, `hope not only meets despair in equal measure, it drowns it.’”
— James Orbinski, author of An Imperfect Offering: Humanitarian Action in the Twenty-First Century
