Baldeck’s powerful images capture hope, resignation, forbearance, pride, strength, and love, all mediated by trenchant Creole proverbs—a distillation of the Haitian experience.

Baldeck, a musician, physician, and photographer, brings her abiding interest in third-world medicine to this moving portrayal of Haiti’s heart and soul.
