Author's Studio Interview: Jacqueline Regis

Jacquelyn Regis was born into extreme poverty in Haiti to a single mother who tried to offer her children a better life. Her family endured daily struggles and poverty living in a small hut in the l’Arsenal region of Haiti, but they were continuously supportive of each other. Regis herself eventually came to the U.S., attended college, became a lawyer, and fulfilled her mother’s desire for her to have a better life. The Daughter of L’Arsenal, her memoir about these experiences, is her first book and recently received “Honorable Mention” in the Eric Hoffer Book Award Memoir Category competition.
