There's a new YA novel set in post-earthquake Haiti. So exciting! There's now enough post-earthquake Haitian literature for a whole college course!
I was so honored to be able to review this book for the New York Times!

“IT’S A TRUTH universally acknowledged that when rich people move into the hood, where it’s a little bit broken and a little bit forgotten, the first thing they want to do is clean it up. But it’s not just the junky stuff they’ll get rid of. People can be thrown away too, like last night’s trash left out on sidewalks or pushed to the edge of wherever all broken things go. What those rich people don’t always know is that broken and forgotten neighborhoods were first built out of love.”
