Enseveli sous les décombres du tremblement de terre qui a ravagé son île, Shorty, 15 ans, attend dans le noir d'être secouru. Terrifié, assoiffé, il fait défiler sa vie. Des bidonvilles de Cité Soleil aux gangsters qui y font la loi. Un monde qui transforme les rêves en poussières et les garçons en meurtriers. Dans l'obscurité, la limite entre présent et passé s'estompe.

As he begins to die of thirst, he recalls the events of his life which have brought him to this place: growing up in the violent slums of Site Solèy, seeing his father killed and twin sister kidnapped, joining a gang, killing his first person at twelve and being shot himself. Shorty finds his recollections tied up with the dreams of Toussaint Louverture, a rebel slave leader from two hundred years in the past, and Shorty's battle for survival takes him places and times he never could have imagined. Suggested level: senior secondary."@en . . . "Young adult works" . "Young adult works"@en . . . "Haiti 2010: in the aftermath of the earthquake a boy lies trapped beneath the rubble: terrified, thirsty and alone. Shorty is a child of the slums, a teenager who has seen enough violence to last a lifetime and who has been inexorably drawn into the world of the gangsters who rule his broken city: men who dole out money with one hand and death with the other. But Shorty has a secret: a flame of revenge that burns inside him, fuelling his determination to find his beloved twin sister, stolen from him five years ago. In the darkness the lines between the present and the past begin to blur and, as Shorty fights for life, his struggle becomes part of a two-hundred-year-old story - a story of courage and betrayal, of freedom and of hope. Shorty may not be quite as alone as he believes..." . . . . "History and memory"@en . "In darkness, I count my blessings like Manman taught me. One: I am alive. Two: there is no two.
