About the Book
This book shares an inspirational story of my life experience in Haiti and my tragic journey to the United States. During the Lavalas and the De facto regime, I faced many problems in Haiti; killing, disease, starvation, and injustice were all over the land. Students went on strike almost every day. Some of them were shot, some were beat up to death, and others were burnt. I have watched people being stoned to death. In late 2002, a man named Jonas came to Haiti to help people flee the problems. On the night of August 4, 2003, I found myself among many in a big, wild bush in St. Marteen, waiting on a little canoe to take us to the United States. Some of us made it. Some didn’t. But I thank God for allowing me to live to share this story.
About the Author
Rolson St Louis is known by several titles: writer, teacher, activist, valet, steelworker, and so forth. But most importantly, he is a man of God. He was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and grew up in Bonette, a small, poor village in the western part of Haiti. After facing death and many other problems at home, he moved to the United States to search for a better, secure, and hopeful future. Everything was different. Despite these changes, he did not know the true meaning of living until Christ came into his life.
