Village Weavers

In "Village Weavers," award-winning author Myriam J. A. Chancy weaves a compelling tale of friendship and resilience set against the backdrop of 1940s Port-au-Prince. The story follows two girls, Gertie and Sisi, who forge a deep bond despite their contrasting social standings. As a shocking family secret disrupts their lives and historical upheavals drive them apart—one to Paris and the other into a wealthy Dominican marriage—their paths diverge until a missed connection decades later in America prompts them to confront their shared past. Through themes of class, race, and forgiveness, Chancy explores the enduring ties that can survive even the most profound separations.
