Hard Way to Happiness: (A Soldier's History) - Paperback

Ray Gaillard was an American born of Haitian origin who served in the famous Navy Seal, under cover of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) but worked, in fact, for Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in the past two years.

At twenty-four, Joyce Gallagher was a happy and truthfully pretty young lady. At this age, she still hadn't had a boyfriend, an unusual thing for a young girl having passed already six years in university.

The Gaillard family was part of a greater Catholic traditional caste that occupied the highest functions of that little city in Haiti. It was also an ancestry of large landowners that benefited from the generosity of the different governments.

The Gallagher family was part of an old traditional White conservative origins from Ireland who had made their fortune first in the slave trade and then in the processing of food products.

What do you expect when the only child of a White supremacist family from the Deep South of America fell in love with a Black son of an immigrant family from a broken country?
