This book is about a young boys struggle, since a very tender age, to find a balance between a life of uncertainty and fear caused by the "Papa Doc" Duvalier terror apparatus and the incredibly exciting adventures and discoveries he was to experience in his beautiful country on his way to becoming a real "person." In this funny and easy to read book, the reader will experience the many paradoxes that characterized life back in those days. Amid colorful customs such as skipping rope tournaments, marble game challenges, street food vendors, you find lurking in the background various superstitious beliefs and sinister political corruption. Following this seemingly mediocre kid, while he lives on the edge of his seat, sampling street food, dancing at carnival; having cliffhanger experiences down treacherous mountain roads and exploring the countryside while vacationing in the mountains, you will discover the unimaginable and untold beauty of this place. You will also get an insight into the social aspects of life in Haiti as the bond between this kid and his brothers strengthens while they learn to deal with the emotional turmoil caused by the separation from their parents and by being confronted with social injustice. The author, Ferry Paul, knew that those would probably be the best times of his life. Even at a young age, he made mental notes so that he would always remember them, knowing that he may have to leave this island and all its quirky ways to avoid the inevitable collision between his father and the regime. This book is perfect for readers of all ages and those with a wide range of interests. If you dare to read it, I promise: it will be the adventure of a lifetime. Yveline F. Paul.
