Following her husband's untimely death, Margaret Trost visited Haiti to heal her broken heart through service. Struggling to make sense of the extreme poverty and touched by the warmth and resilience of those she met, she partnered with a local community and together they developed a program that now serves thousands of meals a week to those in need. On That Day, Everybody Ate is an autobiography of her remarkable journey."This small, polished gem of a book is one compelling answer to many questions about how to inject meaning in our lives...."- from the Foreword by Dr. Paul Farmer, cofounder of Partners In Health"Margaret Trost shares an unflinching, compassionate account of her work in Haiti.
