One day Sophi came home from school and Atie was waiting on the steps of their house with a sad expression on her face. Atie told Sophi that her mother has sent for her. She will be leaving for the Americas in two days. Sophi at only nine years of age did not understand. The next morning Atie took Sophi to say goodbye to her Grandma Ife¢.

When they arrive Atie decides she will stay with Grandma Ife¢ while Sophi is in the Americas. The next morning Atie takes Sophi to the airport where a brown skin woman with black hair and pretty eyes greets her. She tells Sophi that she will take her to her mother.

When Sophi arrives in the Americas a pale, skinny, women with short black hair approaches her. The women picked her up and flung her into the air while smothering her in kisses.

Sophis’ mother had been checking her every night for two weeks, and every night more painful for Sophi. On the bed was a doll in a white dress with black shoes.

They returned home together and Sophi and the baby stayed over her mothers’ house until Joseph came to get them the next day. While she was in Haiti Sophi and her mother made peace and became friends. It was painted light blue with a bed in one corner and a dresser in the other. She also told her that when she was a young girl her mother used to lay Atie and her on the bed and stick each of her finger in their vaginal opening to make sure that they were still pure. Sophis’ mother showed her to her room. When she got in the seat scratched her small thighs. Two days later she got a message from Marc saying that something bad had happened.

Her mother was covered in sweat and seemed to be fighting someone.
