Clemantine’s Mother
Clemantine, Claire, and Pudi’s father is a big man with a broad smile. In Kigali, Rwanda, he started his own car service that grew into a large commercial car rental business. He works a lot, and Clemantine only sees him at night when she brings him his slippers and he lets her have a sip of his beer. After Clemantine and Claire are separated from him during the Rwandan Genocide, they don’t see him again until he appears on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Then, Claire flies back to Rwanda and brings her parents to the United States.
