This is Senator Graham's moving account of the process of establishing the seeds of democratic procedures in lands far from Canada where no one thought they would ever take hold: in Namibia, where the magical numbers 4-3-5 acquired almost supernatural significance; in Haiti, where elections observers as well as voters risked their lives on election day; and in countless other places with equally rivetting stories. It is an inspiring tribute to the faith and endurance of people who, against the odds, believe democracy will change their lives and society for the better.
