Best-selling author Edwidge Danticat—an American Book Award winner, the youngest person ever nominated for the National Book Award, and a two-time selectee of Oprah's Book Club®—delivers a powerful tale of facing the past and of making the decisions and sacrifices that shape the future.

In Haiti during the dictatorial 1960s, the man known as the "dew breaker" was a torturer. Now an American and a fixture in his Brooklyn neighborhood, he maintains a quiet life as a husband and father. His terrible deeds lie buried. As we meet his family, neighbors, and even his victims, his story becomes one of reconciliation and rebellion. And as we return one final time to his turbulent past, we witness his last violent act, and his first encounter with the woman who offers him a chance for salvation.
