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.
