&;I couldn&;t put Dear Haiti, Love Alaine down!&; &;New York Times bestselling author Jasmine Guillory

Co-written by sisters Maika and Maritza Moulite, this exceptional debut novel captures a sparkling new voice and irrepressible heroine in a story sure to thrill fans of Nicola Yoon and Ibi Zoboi!

Alaine Beauparlant has heard about Haiti all her life&;

But the stories were always passed down from her dad&;and her mom, when she wasn&;t too busy with her high-profile newscaster gig. But when Alaine&;s life goes a bit sideways, it&;s time to finally visit Haiti herself.

What she learns about Haiti&;s proud history as the world&;s first black republic (with its even prouder people) is one thing, but what she learns about her own family is another. Suddenly, the secrets Alaine&;s mom has been keeping, including a family curse that has spanned generations, can no longer be avoided.

It&;s a lot to handle, without even mentioning that Alaine is also working for her aunt&;s nonprofit, which sends underprivileged kids to school and boasts one annoyingly charming intern.

But if anyone can do it all&;it&;s Alaine.
