A descendant of one of the American black freemen who founded Liberia, Helene Cooper grew up in a world of privilege and prestige among the "Congo" class. Enjoying the trappings of wealth and advantage, her world was shattered in 1980 when a coup left President Tolbert and his cabinet executed and the entire Congo class on the run. Helene and her family fled to the United States but left behind a foster sister, Eunice.
