Summary
What wouldn't you sacrifice to become American?
Everything about the Beauclaire family seems normal—almost perfect, even. They immigrated to New York City from Haiti years ago, looking for their own piece of America’s promised riches. They go to church, they're good neighbors, and their two daughters, Judith and Beatrice, have typical sibling rivalries that keep things interesting. But beneath this polished exterior, something is just slightly off. There’s malice waiting . . . wanting to reveal itself.
When their mother unexpectedly dies, Judith and Bee are overwhelmed by a mob of relatives, friends, and church ladies. Amid taking care of the funeral, they meet Libète, who claims to be a close friend of their mother’s. Judith welcomes her, but Bee is immediately suspicious—their mother never mentioned this friend, and yet Libète seems to know everything about them.
After a series of unsettling events—childhood photos of Judith vanishing, a mysterious illness suddenly afflicting their father—Judith and Bee are forced to dive into a hidden world of mythos and question Libète’s role in it all. What they learn could threaten the bedrock of the entire Beauclaire family . . . and reveal a rot that goes deeper than the roots they first made in this place.
