Book excerpt: In the neighborhood of Delmas in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, shortages run rampant. The relief organization CAMEP is inefficient, making water very difficult to find. CAMEP is responsible for the water, but the organization’s inadequacies cause widespread panic and sometimes death. The people have no option but to go rogue. In the light of the water shortage, the Jourdain family works with two peasant brothers who sell water from the family’s reservoir, benefitting both themselves and the family. The brothers carry the water in buckets on their heads and fight to make a profit. Things go terribly wrong, however, when Mr. Jourdain’s greedy boss cheats him of his earnings; now the family has nowhere to turn. Lucky for them, their servant SeSe is knowledgeable in the ways of the underground; she will teach them to survive. Even so, the family soon learns that in desperate times, there is a thin line between good and evil. Good fights to survive, but the evil path is sometimes the easiest. How will the Jourdain family choose, and will their choice lead to salvation or death?
