Like the Dew That Waters the Grass: Words from Haitian Women

In this remarkable collection of interviews Marie Racine has transformed herself into the mouthpiece for a generation of valiant Haitian women who, fortunately for the reading public, are silent no longer. These poignant stories of the daily struggle for a dignified existence in the hemisphere's poorest republic-a place regrettably forgotten by mainstream media except when hammered by political violence or natural disaster-are beautifully related and reflect a rare sensitivity on Racine's part, both as listener and writer.
