Witness in the Dust<\/em> is a novel about Celine, a young Haitian woman who leaves home after several hurricanes and an earthquake almost destroyed her country. When she arrives in Chicago with dreams of furthering her education and pursuing the American dream, she encounters an overly aggressive deportation policy and many unkept promises. She realizes that, like many other people of color, she is not welcome in America. With the support of her community and church, she begins to grapple with her beliefs about the big questions of equality, freedom, and citizenship. She begins to wonder: Is there really a place for her in this world coated in the dust of a decaying democracy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
