The Tenacity of Hope is a memoir that tells the story of how a mother and daughter were let down by the Haitian justice system when they needed it the most. It's about poverty and violence, rape and childhood abuse, disappointment and desperation. Most of all, it's about hope. The story follows my mother, Marie-Micheline Dantica, through being abandoned as a baby, becoming pregnant as a teenager, having the father of her baby turn his back on her, and being mercilessly abused by the man she subsequently married a man who went on to sexually abuse me from the time I was just six years old. This sad but all-too-common story has a hopeful ending; however, as it tells of how I galvanized my victimization into the strength I needed to start the only international non-profit organization that is focused on providing battered women and children in Haiti with shelter and protection. 50% of the proceeds of the book sales will be donated to Haiti projects for battered women and children
