An orphan, he travels the island in his youth, finding work wherever he can. One morning, while hauling cement in the broiling sun, he meets Anaya, a nursing student who is sipping cherry juice under a tree. Their attraction is instantaneous, fierce; what grows between them feels like the destiny-changing love Zo has yearned for. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Anaya's father, protective and ambitious on behalf of his only daughter, cannot accept that a poor, uneducated man such as Zo is good enough for her, and he sends Anaya away to Port-au-Prince. Then something even more shattering happens: a massive earthquake churns the ground beneath the capital city, forever altering the course of life for those who survive. At once suspenseful, heartrending, and gorgeously lyrical, \u003ci\u003eZo\u003c\/i\u003e is an unforgettable journey of heroism, grief, redemption, and persistence against all odds.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eXANDER MILLER\u003c\/b\u003e has lived in Ohio, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, California, and Pennsylvania.
