<P> Seven: A short and seemingly completely unrelated story to the first, Seven is about a man whose wife arrives from Port - au - Prince to NYC . They've been separated for seven years and now are together again in a strange place, living together in a basement . In the basement also live her husband's two housemates, Michel and Dany . Her husband works two jobs, a night janitor at Medgar Evers College, and a day janitor at Kings' County Hospital . They both have secrets that they are keeping from each other, but they respect each other's privacy . At the end of the chapter, they have sex seven times, to represent the seven years they were apart . </P> <P> Water Child: Nadine works in a hospital . She has family in Haiti, and soon after we discover she is a previous girlfriend of the man in the previous story ." He should be home resting now, she thought, preparing to start his second job as a night janitor at Medgar Evers College ." But when she tries to call him she finds the number unlisted as in the previous chapter it is noted "Gone was the phone number he'd had for the last five years, ever since he'd had a telephone . (He didn't need other women calling him now)". As mentioned earlier, this is one of the secrets that he is keeping from his wife . Nadine is very secluded, most of the story is about her unborn, aborted child . A shrine has been constructed for this child that is described in much detail . She is estranged from her family, lover, and country . She has a very quietly tortured soul . </P> <P> The Book of Miracles: Narrated by Ka's mother, The Book of Miracles chronicles the family's car trip through NYC to get to Christmas - Eve mass . During this trip, Anne recalls moments from her past, most importantly the death of her brother when he was three years old, pulled under the ocean waves while Anne wasn't looking . When they arrive at church, they have a run - in with a lookalike of Haitian criminal Emmanuel Constant . Ka's "Maman," Anne, is very faithful and struggles with her daughter's flippant demeanor and typical teenage angst . "What if it were Constant? What would she do? Would she spit in his face or embrace him, acknowledging a kinship of shame and guilt that she'd inherited by marrying her husband?" The potential presence of Constant coupled with the religious setting brings to light Anne's own guilt and fear of living a lie, both with her relationship with her daughter and as a member of the Haitian community in NYC . </P> <P> Night Talkers: It's quickly established we're talking again about one of the men of the basement, Dany . Dany has traveled back to Haiti to visit his aunt Estina Esteme . He tells his aunt that he recognized his landlord as the man who killed his parents, who is also the father of Ka . Then Claude appears . Claude is also from NY but has been exiled back to Haiti for killing his father in a rage . Claude contracts to Dany is a rough way . Dany has traveled so far because he's found the murderer of his parents, only to find Claude, accepted into the community he stills feels to be so much a part of him . Claude, the man who murdered his own father . </P>
