Scholastic Inc. 2002

Enid's comment: A powerful first person narrative by Haitian-born, Edwidge Danticat, written from the perspective of a 12 year old. A humane and dignified portrayal of Haitian people, set in 2000. An essential book for those who wish to see the Haiti and the Haitians we are not allowed to see on mainstream media.
