Description
Charlie's journey to healing begins in Haiti, a country rich in courage and love. A rootless daughter of American missionaries now working as a hairdresser in Northern California, Charlie has struggled with the repercussions of a traumatic childhood far from home. Her grandmother Bea is determined to help her heal through a reunion with their estranged mother. Meanwhile, Lizbeth, a Texas widow, embarks on a daunting journey into the unknown, searching for the grandchild she never knew existed. In Haiti, they meet Senzey, a young Haitian mother who shows them the true meaning of bravery in the face of love and loss. As they navigate the vibrant streets of Port-au-Prince, they encounter a community of do-gooders, Vodou practitioners, artists, activists, and everyday men and women determined to survive against all odds. For Charlie, Bea, Lizbeth, and Senzey, life will never be the same again as they discover the true meaning of love, strength, and resilience in this powerful story.
