Jacqueline Regis
Start: 7:00 pm

Jacqueline Regis, author of The Daughter of L'Arsenal, will be reading and signing at The Bookcase on Thursday, January 7 beginning at 7:00 p.m.

The Daughter of L'Arsenal is the story of a young woman who escapes a web of dysfunctional family values and social and political repression in rural Haiti to become a successful corporate lawyer in the United States.

This memoir chronicles Jacqueline's childhood experiences leading to her ultimate flight from the claws of poverty, servitude, violence and death. Her escape, however, came at a cost. In order to survive, she was forced to permanently leave her family, and much of her cultural heritage, behind.
