Author Spotlight: Haitian Heritage Month

Authors, Makia Moulite and Maritza Moulite

In honor of Haitian Heritage Month, we wanted to spotlight authors, Maika Moulite and Maritza Moulite. Daughters of Haitian immigrants, they always had a goal to write a book together. So far, they have written two books! To learn more about the authors, please visit www.maikaandmaritza.com

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.
