Silence and Resistance: Memoir of a Girlhood in Haiti (Wordeee) by Haitian Monique Clesca delves into family secrets, historical trauma, and the painful necessity of confronting the most difficult truths. This haunting memoir orbits two catastrophes: the 2010 earthquake that devastated Port-au-Prince and shattered many Haitians’ fragile sense of stability, and Clesca’s discovery of an awful, violent secret about her father. Silence and Resistance charts the author’s attempts to reckon with these ruptures in her own identity, and find some version of personal healing.
