Wow!

 

Powerful.  Haunting.  Amazing.  Haitian-American is not my experience, but I feel through the author's words--hearing them in her own voice figuratively and literally--I got a taste of what it is to live the Haitian-American experience.  While I'll never truly know, this collection of short stories makes me wish I could.  I wish we could all just immerse ourselves into other cultures so that we could learn from them and appreciate them and our own more.

 

I loved every minute of these stories and only wish there were more.
