Twelve Unending Summers: Memoir of an Immigrant Child (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781949642049)

Bahamian. Haitian. American. Where can I fully belong?

At age sixteen, Cholet Josu arrived on the shores of Miami in a wooden boat--and immediately put the past behind him. More than two decades later, the elusive question of identity pursues him, forcing him to confront a difficult truth: the cultures that formed him have each indelibly stamped his soul. Courageously, Cholet dismantles his own story to uncover a way to unashamedly, unabashedly fit in with three different worlds while belonging to none.

Honest and compelling, Twelve Unending Summers is a deeply personal journey that resonates with the universal human need to find a home and embrace the legacy of family heritage.
