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.
