Belle's in the Wind by Belle Chery

Belle's in the Wind by Belle Chery is a short, bitter sweet compilation of poems by Haitian-Born writer Ms. Chery, written throughout her childhood and adolescent years. Belle's in the Wind entails, the turmoil of emotions that phased through, from leaving behind her home, friends, neighbors, land, family, and boarding a plane all alone to foreign territory. With the native tongue as a second language, She charters unfriendly and unfamiliar waters, learning the culture and norms as she struggles to find herself, to find love and to find purpose. All while simultaneously surviving death and betrayal in her personal connections. As the healing voyage begins, she adjusts to her new environment and commence to discover her femininity and meaning in this cold world by accepting the things she can not change and embracing what she can.
