So she experiences a jumble of emotions when, at twelve, she joins her parents in New York City, whom she struggles to remember--she has left behind Joseph and the only home she's ever known. The story of a new life in a new country while fearing for those still in Haiti soon becomes a terrifying tale of good people caught up in events beyond their control. In 2004, his life threatened by a gang, the frail, 81-year-old Joseph makes his way to Miami, where he thinks he will be safe. Instead, he is detained by the Department of Homeland Security, brutally imprisoned, and dead within days. It was a story that made headlines around the world.--From publisher description. 600 10 $a Danticat, Edwidge, $d 1969- $x Family. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Uncles $z Haiti. 650 0 $a Emigration and immigration. 651 0 $a Haiti $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0711/2007006887.html 941 $a 28 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314030903.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305024446.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718084230.0 952 $l N2AX314 $d 20210728014505.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722015947.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926091047.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006041655.0 952 $l HZPA135 $d 20180824010501.0 952 $l URAX314 $d 20170609040947.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418062527.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824021740.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202034012.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20160105011633.0 952 $l GWPB501 $d 20151126012216.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20151001015108.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20150227011515.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20140619015846.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20110618013743.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l ELPC715 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OTAX626 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UDAX314 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UTAX115 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l O3AX572 $d 20100120073657.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=55F8F74A2B0F11DE8F715E08A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IMVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
