As paramedic Kathy Harms navigates the devastation in the aftermath of the catastrophic 2005 Kashmir Earthquake as a first-time medical aid worker, she is confronted by the scale of suffering she observes in the region, and her own lack of experience in the area of humanitarian work.

In the field, she meets Nadeem Malik, a 19 year old student struggling to come to terms with personal loss and the destruction of his home and everything that was once familiar. He must now find a way to support his family, and find them suitable shelter for the cold winter months. His plight mirrors that of the 2.8 million people in the region who were displaced by the earthquake begging the question, is recovery from a disaster of this scale even possible?

""Resilience in the Rubble: A True Tale of Aid and Survival in Kashmir"" weaves together the firsthand accounts of both Kathy and Nadeem. Though heartbreaking, their personal stories show the strength of the human spirit, and the resilience of a population to overcome unthinkable adversity.

Reviews for Resilience in the Rubble: A True Tale of Aid and Survival in Kashmir

"""Ms. Harms creates an unforgettable experience for anyone curious enough to read 'Resilience in the Rubble'. There are way too few accounts that address with this level of detail, quality, and humanity, a personal account of a first responder to a disaster in a foreign country."" - Eric Franklin ""A fascinating and brutally honest firsthand account of aid and survival after a catastrophic earthquake in Pakistan. Kathy Harms gives readers an intimate view into the logistical realities of providing aid and care in a culturally sensitive manner in the face of disaster."" Kelly Cannon"
