<DIV><DIV><b>Fleeing the terrors of her home, a Haitian woman finds that life in America is filled with its own hardships</b></div><DIV><BR>Simone has gotten used to living in fear. After years of dictatorship, Haiti has sunk into chaos, and death is ever present. But it isn&rsquo;t the corpse she finds on her doorstep that convinces Simone to flee the island of her birth&mdash;it&rsquo;s the night she sees her lover with his arm draped around the shoulder of another. Death is one thing, but she cannot tolerate heartbreak.</div><DIV><BR>The assistant to the United States&rsquo; cultural attach&eacute;, Simone is clever enough to get herself a green card. But when she gets to New York, she finds that her smarts cannot guarantee her a job. Accepting a position as a &ldquo;caregiver&rdquo; in a wealthy community upstate, Simone finds herself little more than a glorified nanny to a pair of astonishingly spoiled children. But there is a dark side to her humble new life among the WASPs, and this &eacute;migr&eacute; will find that the rich can be more barbaric than she ever knew.</div><DIV></div></div>
