I Sat Where You Sit

I sat where you sit, I have been through what you are going through, and I am living through it so I could tell you about it, and you, one day, will tell someone else that you sat where they sit. I Sat where you Sit, by Joel Esperance, tells the story of a man's growth from poor child in Haiti to successful adult in the United States. Throughout the many years of his life, the author was exposed to the full range of the human experience, from love and laughter to grief and sadness. Through it all, he maintained his faith in God. He leaned on that faith to sustain him in the difficult times and to uplift him in the good times. Readers will certainly believe Mr. Esperance when he tells them that, no matter how difficult things may seem now, God will use it to his purpose. 'After all,' he says, 'I sat where you sit.'
