In America, Africa, France, and Haiti, an interesting group of people from different social, economic, and ethnic backgrounds find ways to live productive lives in a global world where people and issues are not clearly defined and solutions are difficult and complex. At the same time, their struggles are universal: To live in peace and fulfill their dreams. In To Seek and Find they explore how Haiti can recover from a historical litany of natural and man-created disasters; how France can cope with an increasing number of immigrants and social unrest, a problem in many European countries; how coastal cities in America can find solutions to environmental changes; and how African nations can overcome outside interference and internal corruption to provide better lives for their people. As individuals and families from all of these countries seek solutions to these problems, they also cope with their own personal triumphs and tragedies.
