On January 12, 2010, a powerful earthquake shook Haiti, killing and injuring
thousands. In a few seconds, the author's identity was torn apart with all the
landmarks of her life shattered, sending her into a transformative journey of self-
discovery. "Silence and Resistance" recounts the author's upbringing under state-
sponsored terror, domestic violence, forced silence, the bewilderment of loss, and
generational secrets. It is also a haunting narrative of the author's profound journey
to uncover and reckon with the buried secrets of her family's past. Set against the
rich backdrop and singular history of Haiti, this poignant tale explores the
complexities of love, trauma, and identity through the lens of a father's dark legacy.
