“I couldn’t put Dear Haiti, Love Alaine down!” —New York Times bestselling author Jasmine Guillory

Co-written by sisters Maika and Maritza Moulite, this exceptional debut novel captures a sparkling new voice and irrepressible heroine in a story sure to thrill fans of Nicola Yoon and Ibi Zoboi!

Alaine Beauparlant has heard about Haiti all her life…

But the stories were always passed down from her dad—and her mom, when she wasn’t too busy with her high-profile newscaster gig. But when Alaine’s life goes a bit sideways, it’s time to finally visit Haiti herself.

What she learns about Haiti’s proud history as the world’s first black republic (with its even prouder people) is one thing, but what she learns about her own family is another. Suddenly, the secrets Alaine’s mom has been keeping, including a family curse that has spanned generations, can no longer be avoided.

It’s a lot to handle, without even mentioning that Alaine is also working for her aunt’s nonprofit, which sends underprivileged kids to school and boasts one annoyingly charming intern.

But if anyone can do it all…it’s Alaine.

I'm usually a non fiction reader but previewing books to pass on to my children and niece.This book fits the bill easy entertaining listen and while some subject matters are adult in nature they are handled in a way that's not overly graphic which I'm thankful for.If you have young readers 13 and up this would be a good choice.As a a warning there is a story line about sexual abuse but its done in a manner that its implied with out and raunchy expletives

A good read for young readers!

I love how authentic the story feels and how it oscillates between the present and the historical family bloodline, dating back to the First Queen of Haiti 🇭🇹

I love it!

I could see the characters in the story. I could feel what they were feeling and I was invested! The relationship of mother/daughter made my heartache but was pleased how it all ended. I wanted more at the end and can definitely see this as a mini series on one of the networks. Somebody needs to call Coogler or Rhimes to make it happen!

Captivating

I will forever be hooked by stories that represent the Caribbean because that is where I hail from. The history, the representation, the foods, the recipes, the folklore (voodoo/witches) it all give me a sense of coming home to eat at the family table. And I DEVOURED this story. Every bit of it. Hungrily and without shame! Thank you Maika & Maritza for this!
