At the age of four, Edwidge Danticat's parents placed her in the care of her Uncle Joseph when they left Haiti for America. Eight years later she was both elated and heartbroken when she left her beloved uncle to join her parents and youngest brothers in New York City. In this 2007 memoir—winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award and a nominee for the National Book Award—Danticat makes a life in a new country, adjusting to being far away from so many whom she loved. When Haiti is torn by rioting and unrest, Joseph makes his way to America, but—detained by U.S. Customs—the entire family becomes caught up in a nightmare of red tape and racism.
