Anyone But Me is a novel of Haiti.
Paul Whiteside embarks on a 30-day pilgrimage to live and work with the people of Haiti to figure out if God is calling him for a bigger purpose. Paul is torn by his life of comfort and his need to contribute something more to the world. Is he strong enough to complete this journey, not knowing what he’ll discover about himself and his destiny?
Merlinda Baptiste, a proud Haitian woman, helps train Paul in the brutal realities of life on the island, with its orphanages, gangs, and deep poverty. But she’s torn between seeing him as a way off the island and her fierce determination to stay with her family and culture—to not desert the country she knows desperately needs her.
Anyone But Me dives deep into the history and traditions of Haiti that have led to a country on the brink. And the love story of two people caught in one of Haiti’s most tumultuous and devastating eras.

“Wow! I just finished your book. I couldn’t put it down, and I didn’t want it to end! But what an ending! I didn’t see the _________ coming. I can’t wait to read your next novel!!” C.B. (I took out her spoiler alert: Bruce)
“I sat down with your book one day last month and ended up reading it in one sitting. But I just wanted to thank you for addressing so many different issues within the story in such a creative way- gangs, mission teams, orphanages, all of it! I have read my fair share of Haiti books before and after a while they all just kind of sound the same. Yours, however, was very fresh and I’m excited to share it with friends.” J.K.
“What a great fictional story author Bruce Kirkpatrick has written. The characters that he develops will draw you into the story in such a way that, if you allow yourself, you cannot help but to say That’s me!” S.C.
