Description
"Genevieve, a single mother, flies to Port-au-Prince with her teenage son, Miles. The trip is meant to be an education for Miles--a chance to learn about his family's roots while coming to terms with his father's departure--but it's also an excuse for Genevieve to escape the city, where her life is dominated by her failed marriage and the daily pressures of raising Black children in America. For Genevieve, the journey is also a homecoming of sorts: an opportunity to visit the island she remembers from childhood and reconnect with family. But when the country is rocked by a massive earthquake--decimating the city and putting their lives at risk--their visit becomes a nightmare of survival"--,Provided by publisher.
