In "Mountains Beyond Mountains," Tracy Kidder illustrates the profound connection Dr. Paul Farmer formed with Haiti. Initially drawn to the country for its dire needs and opportunities to provide medical care, Farmer's experiences there deeply resonated with him. He became aware that the struggles and resilience of the Haitian people were now an integral part of his identity.

This emotional bond made it impossible for Farmer to disregard Haiti or its challenges. Rather than seeing his work as a temporary assignment, he understood that he would have to commit himself to the country and its people for the long haul, reflecting a sense of responsibility and compassion that shaped his life's mission.
