The extraordinary story of Sonia Pierre, a human rights activist who made her life a struggle.

Sonia Pierre was born in 1963 in the Dominican Republic to Haitian parents. A bright child, she grew up in a batey, a sugarcane-cutting camp, and very quickly developed a strong political conscience, witnessing the treatment meted out to Dominicans of Haitian origin. After becoming a lawyer, she spent her entire life fighting for the rights of children born to Haitian parents who had no legal existence in the Dominican Republic.

Catherine Bardon, a fine connoisseur of the Dominican Republic, retraces the incredible journey of this exceptional woman.

A powerful and necessary novel.
