How does he cope with the loss? Where does he direct his anger, his frustration? How does he try to rebuild his life, profession and community? Does he wallow in self-destruction or resurrect from the ashes? Does he have the inner resources to continue? How does he begin to give hope to people who have lost everything also? Where does he go for support? What does he discover about himself in the dark days and nights after the hurricane? Are there any answers to all those questions? Maybe, this book will provide some answers. This is his story. But, in a way, it is everyone's story. It is the story of everyone who has lost a heart, a home, a job, a friendship, a soul mate, a loved one.

At fourteen years old, Rose is sold to a rich man by her father, a farmer unable to support her and her three younger sisters. Traded for a handful of coins, she becomes the property of the master and is taken away without warning to her new home.

Rose soon becomes caught in their perverse web, unsure of how to escape and whom she can trust. The English-language debut of critically acclaimed author Franck Bouysse, this exquisitely written novel is both a keen commentary on class and a chilling horror story.
