Say to These Mountains tells the true story of Wallace Turnbull, one of Haiti's pioneers in development and missions. Over the course of 70 years, his work changed countless lives and influenced national policy in both Haiti and the United States. As told by Wallace's granddaughter, this eloquent biography takes the reader on a journey through the life of a complex man and his adopted country, painting a picture of grace and mercy vastly different from the often-grim stories shared about the island nation and her people.

"Elizabeth Turnbull was born and raised in Haiti where she grew up surrounded by the people and landscapes of Say to These Mountains. After graduating from Quisqueya Christian School, in Port-au-Prince, Elizabeth went on to study Spanish and Journalism at Wake Forest University and received her MA in Latin American and Caribbean Studies from Florida International University. As a ""Third Culture Kid,"" she sees herself as living between two worlds, never fully belonging to one or the other. She's spent a lifetime trying to reconcile those worlds, to help both sides understand one another. Writing, she believes, is the best tool she has for that. Today, Elizabeth is the Senior Editor for Light Messages Publishing where she is immensely grateful to immerse herself in new stories every day. She is also the author of two children's books: Janjak and Freda Go to the Iron Market and Bonnwit Kabrit. Elizabeth lives on a budding farm in Hillsborough, NC, with her husband Roberto Copa Matos.

Reviews for Say To These Mountains: A biography of faith and ministry in rural Haiti

Pastor Wallace was a controversial figure, and in this personal narrative/biography, his granddaughter opens up a window onto his fascinating, turbulent life in Haiti, as well as a close-up addendum to the history of missionary work and its ties to the crisis of development there. --Amy Willentz, author of The Rainy Season: Haiti Since Duvalier and Farewell, Fred Voodoo: A Letter From Haiti
