About this book
Praise for this book
“Dr. Reed has captured the struggle of many minorities coming to the ‘land of the free and the home of the brave.’ Our country of origin becomes blurred, and the realities of the struggle are similar and real. Celine’s journey is an inspiring witness to what can be accomplished when determination is in the driver’s seat. Nothing can happen if nothing happens and Celine has shown us that we can all contribute to change.”
Melody L. Seaton, Pastor, Grace United Church of Christ, Sauk Village, Illinois

“With joy, I endorse this book by Lorrie C. Reed. She covers the young woman’s journey with eloquence, precision, compassion, and passion. As I read her story, it was as if I became intertwined with the Haitian woman. . . . A must-study for theological students and pastoral care organizations involved in justice work, while at the same time understanding the connections between doing Jesus and doing justice.”
Ken Sawyer, Professor of Church History, McCormick Theological Seminary
“A needed tract for these times. In this compelling meditation on memory, migration, faith, and belonging Lorrie Reed provides a Haitian migration memoir by turns violent, hopeful, resistant, and resilient. Her fiction underscores the fact that whatever America might still become is carried in the hearts and hands of migrants and the communities of care that sustain them, not in the cynical deployment of ICE squads against the innocent, nor in the cowardly policies of nativist governments. This is a well-wrought and timely story, providing a kind of catechism for a more humane society.”
