The One Haitian by Stan Hovey
This book is a fictional story about the life of one Haitian man. His life is woven within the past backdrop of Haitian history and his contemporary backdrop of time between the early 1900s and the early 2000s. He is conceived between a U. S. marine and a Haitian woman, lives a time as a slave and has many struggles until he is given an exceptional opportunity to rise above abject poverty. The One Haitian in this story has adventures, loves and many bittersweet moments throughout his years, as he develops a unique backdrop for the future to be considered by all of us today. He, like ourselves, was conditioned by various nurturing and natural experiences to shape his being.
