At the age of twelve, Sophie Caco is sent from her impoverished
village of Croix-des-Rosets to New York, to be reunited with a mother she
barely remembers. There she discovers secrets that no child should ever know
and a legacy of shame that can be healed only when she returns to Haiti—to the
women who first reared her. What ensues is a passionate journey through a
landscape charged with the supernatural and scarred by political violence, in a
novel that bears witness to the traditions, suffering, and wisdom of an entire
people.
