How will you go from being one of the children of prosperous, super star parents to, as Dr. Jim Yong Kim, the chief executive of Dartmouth School, has called her, "one of the fantastic humans walking the earth right now"? Ophelia Dahl journeyed from Buckinghamshire to Haiti in 1983 and fell in love with the country and with Paul Farmer, a recently available graduate of Duke who become a famous doctor. With others they founded Associates in Health, the groundbreaking global health business. Then came up the break up, new partners, new devastation in Haiti, and a search for solutions that may, in Tracy Kidder's words, "heal the planet". Ophelia, who rarely consents to interviews, is the girl of publisher Roald Dahl (Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Adam and the Big Peach) and Oscar-winning celebrity Patricia Neal (Hud). That is a brief report of her family's tragic past and of her own passage to womanhood, motherhood, and meaningful work. Ted Conover is the author of Newjack, Coyotes, The Routes of Man, and other catalogs. He publishes in The New York Times Journal and the New Yorker and it is a writer-in-residence at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute of New York University.
