Trade Review
"Yaya's Story is not only highly original, it is emotionally engaging and profound. Stoller reveals the tensions between the yearning for meaningful relationships in Niger and the clinical care afforded by New York City. In so doing he demonstrates just how complex is the creation of well-being in the modern world. This is a truly remarkable book by a most gifted storyteller." (A. David Napier, author of Making Things Better)"
