So she experiences a jumble of emotions when, at twelve, she joins her parents in New York City, whom she struggles to remember--she has left behind Joseph and the only home she's ever known. The story of a new life in a new country while fearing for those still in Haiti soon becomes a terrifying tale of good people caught up in events beyond their control. In 2004, his life threatened by a gang, the frail, 81-year-old Joseph makes his way to Miami, where he thinks he will be safe. Instead, he is detained by the Department of Homeland Security, brutally imprisoned, and dead within days. It was a story that made headlines around the world.--From publisher description. 000322076 60010 $$aDanticat, Edwidge,$$d1969-$$xFamily. 000322076 650_0 $$aAuthors, American$$y20th century$$vBiography. 000322076 650_0 $$aUncles$$zHaiti. 000322076 650_0 $$aEmigration and immigration. 000322076 651_0 $$aHaiti$$xSocial conditions$$y20th century. 000322076 85200 $$bgen$$hPS3554.A5815$$iZ46$$i2007 000322076 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0711/2007006887.html 000322076 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:322076$$pGLOBAL_SET 000322076 980__ $$aBIB 000322076 980__ $$aBOOK 000322076 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
