"Some stories insist on being told. In his first published book, award winning Post Media journalist Don Lajoie, gives the reader a gripping and un-apologetically honest tale of his experiences as an award-winning journalist in Haiti. With stories accumulated over his many years of work in Haiti, Lajoie leads the reader confidently through the dichotomy of the country: its garbage-lined streets, the devastating earthquake of 2010, the diverse and rich traditions of Voodoo, the groundbreaking architecture, the thriving music scene, and the history of Haiti as a people of rebellion and survival. From the dramatic to the mundane, Don Lajoie, a former reporter for the Windsor Star, tackles the aspects of Haitian life rarely seen with a combination of awe, and humour."-- Provided by publisher.
