Denver, Colorado, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 31, 2012 -- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published The Children of Injustice: One Haitian Canadian Woman's Memoir of Healing by Ruth Auguste. The author's most recent book to date is a 5 x 8 paperback in the autobiography and personal memoirs category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/childrenofinjustice was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.

Many of us cannot imagine what it would be like to be deeply vulnerable and without protection in a poor and corrupt country. It is beyond the scope of what we know how to think. But for orphans and abused children in Haiti, this unimaginable nightmare is their daily reality.

In The Children of Injustice, Ruth Auguste tells the searing story of her childhood and shows the stark truth of orphaned children in a country lacking compassion for its most fragile citizens. At fifteen years old, Ruth was left to raise her three brothers and to become an adult while still a child herself. She struggled against a society where orphans were treated as second-class citizens, taken in as slaves, malnourished, neglected, forced to sleep on concrete floors, and shockingly exploited.

But Ruth never stopped longing for a better life – a life she had to reach for and create for herself. Betrayed by her family, betrayed by her country, Ruth broke out of an existence of crushing desperation to write this book and to provide hope and a helping hand to those who suffer now as she once suffered herself.

Proceeds from the purchase of this book will go to help Ruth’s “World Gifters Society,” which provides shelter and protection to boys and girls who are living on the streets in Haiti.

149 pages in length, The Children of Injustice: One Haitian Canadian Woman's Memoir of Healing is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the autobiography and personal memoirs category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, The Children of Injustice meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $14.95.

About the author:

Ruth Auguste was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, during the darkest days of the Duvalier’s reign of fear. As a child, she watched her mother suffer horrible physical and emotional abuses at the hands of her stepfather, and when she was only six years old, Ruth herself became the victim of his sexual violence. Ruth is the granddaughter of the renowned Haitian social rights activist Reverend Joseph Danticat, and the goddaughter of acclaimed American author Edwige Danticat. In 2008, Ruth co-founded the World Gifters Society, a non-profit agency dedicated to providing a safe haven for battered women and children in Haiti. Today, Ruth is a renowned speaker and women’s advocate in Haiti. She resides in British Columbia, Canada, with her loving husband Garry and their three children.
