ABOUT THE BOOK

Perseverance Abroad

The Memoir of Lucien Denis Mocombe

These memoirs have so many facets that will pique the interests of young and old, Haitians and non-Haitians, physicians as well as non-physicians.

One will appreciate Dr. Mocombe’s candor as he describes the shock of social acculturation, which is the common lot of all foreigners trying to adapt to a new country and a new culture, as he had to do three times along the way. This story is also a history of resilience and triumph, as he manages to navigate the rigors and pains of medical practice in order to
provide comfort and stability for his family and his staff. Everyone will feel inspired by this candid narration, which will tug on your heartstrings, make you smile at some of the funny and unexpected situations, but mostly inspire you to strive and succeed, even in the most difficult situations.
