Her story inspires one to look for the best in the human spirit despite circumstances. One sees that dedication to serve others with compassion, courage and faith, and medicine blessed with God's love, can make a difference. -Sylvia SmythMegill, Esther L. is the author of 'Sierra Leone Remembered', published 2004 under ISBN 9781418414191 and ISBN 1418414190.
