Chantal tries to impress upon Fabiola that even American Street and Joy Road aren’t all that they seem—they’re dangerous, and hanging out in that area them could get Fabiola killed. What ensues is an argument about who’s experienced the most trauma and who lived in the more dangerous place. While Fabiola may make the case that Haiti was more dangerous than Detroit is, the fact remains that she still thinks of Haiti as home. It’s surprising to hear that Chantal thinks Haiti is home, too. She longs to connect with her Haitian roots, but she has an idealized vision of what life in Haiti is like.
