I’m extremely excited to announce the release of my book, Because We Are: A Novel of Haiti, seeing it roughly coincide with the third anniversary of the 2010 Port-au-Prince earthquake.
The January 12 quake was one of the most tragic events in human memory, andBecause We Are is set against this staggering backdrop. A mystery at heart, the book follows a brash girl and a brilliant boy as they try to find the truth behind the murder of a mother and her infant child on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince. They soon find themselves wrapped up in events that spiral beyond their control, both natural and man-made.
As many of you know, the story is born from my personal experience in Haiti mere months after the quake, and it’s especially appropriate to share on this anniversary when the world's attention once again fixes on Haiti and the quake's human toll. You might recall that the book is a "nonprofit novel," and all net proceeds will be donated to a number of outstanding organizations promoting sustainable development and human rights in Haiti.
I’d love to share this story with you and your community. To celebrate the book's launch this week, and commemorate the quake, there are a few special announcements to share:
