What If? Foundation founder, Margaret Trost, has written a book about her experiences in Haiti, the birth of the food program at St. Clare’s, and the creation of the What If? Foundation.

“Since my first visit to Port-au-Prince, I felt moved to write about my experience as a way to raise awareness about Haiti.  I’m so grateful for the wonderful response this book has received.  My Haitian friends and colleagues have taught me so much about faith, courage, and love, and this book shares their wisdom and inspiration as well as the remarkable story of the special partnership between the St. Clare’s community and the What If? Foundation.” Margaret Trost

On That Day, Everybody Ate: One Woman’s Story of Hope and Possibility in Haiti is available at bookstores throughout the country and online. For more information, visit the book’s website: www.onthatdayeverybodyate.org.   To order a copy on Amazon.com, click here.

“This small, polished gem of a book is one compelling answer to many questions about how to inject meaning in our lives….”
