When a school presentation goes very wrong, Alaine Beauparlant finds herself suspended, shipped off to Haiti, and writing the report of a lifetime....

You might ask the obvious question: What do I, a 17-year-old Haitian American from Miami with way too little life experience, have to say about anything?

Actually, a lot.

Thanks to "the incident" (don’t ask), I’m spending the next two months doing what my school is calling a "spring volunteer immersion project." It’s definitely no vacation. I’m toiling away under the ever-watchful eyes of Tati Estelle at her new nonprofit. And my lean-in queen of a mother is even here to make sure I do things right. Or she might just be lying low to dodge the media sharks after a much more public incident of her own...and to hide a rather devastating secret.

All things considered, there are some pretty nice perks...like flirting with Tati’s distractingly cute intern, getting actual face time with my mom, and experiencing Haiti for the first time. I’m even exploring my family’s history - which happens to be loaded with betrayals, superstitions, and possibly even a family curse.

You know, typical drama. But it’s nothing I can’t handle.

I'm usually a non fiction reader but previewing books to pass on to my children and niece.This book fits the bill easy entertaining listen and while some subject matters are adult in nature they are handled in a way that's not overly graphic which I'm thankful for.If you have young readers 13 and up this would be a good choice.As a a warning there is a story line about sexual abuse but its done in a manner that its implied with out and raunchy expletives

A good read for young readers!

I could see the characters in the story. I could feel what they were feeling and I was invested! The relationship of mother/daughter made my heartache but was pleased how it all ended. I wanted more at the end and can definitely see this as a mini series on one of the networks. Somebody needs to call Coogler or Rhimes to make it happen!

Captivating

I will forever be hooked by stories that represent the Caribbean because that is where I hail from. The history, the representation, the foods, the recipes, the folklore (voodoo/witches) it all give me a sense of coming home to eat at the family table. And I DEVOURED this story. Every bit of it. Hungrily and without shame! Thank you Maika & Maritza for this!

I knew I'd love this!

I loved this story and the breadth and depth in its telling. Alaine is quirky character and the twists and turns in her tale kept me engaged throughout the entire book.

My only negative would be the fact that the person reading it read in a French accent rather than a Haitian one and that bothered me because if I wanted to listen to a book in French I wouldn’t have picked up something called “Dear Haiti”. Please be considerate of your audience and find a Haitian narrator.

Awesome representation of Haiti and it’s rich juicy history
