The moment she steps off the plane, she feels a wall of heat, and familiar sights soon follow--the boys selling water ice by the pink cathedral, the tap tap buses in the busy streets, the fog and steep winding road to her aunt's home in the mountains.

Through Haiti's colors, the girl comes to understand this place her family calls home"--Provided by publisher.
