I was absolutely riveted by this book, but I’m not going to do a full review here (though I have a lot to say about it). It’s set in the world of international charity, among people who are (mostly) genuinely trying to do some good in the world, but, typically, don’t trust people in the ground in the communities where they are working to make decisions for the good of their own communities. White savior do-gooders making compromises and big mistakes, essentially. For someone coming from the churchy background that I come from, it was an intriguing read. But for a deep dive into this, I’m going to suggest you listen to my great conversation with author Sharon Bala on my Shelf Esteem podcast. Check it out!
