Krak! by Edwidge Danticat and Masters of the Dew by Jacques Roumain all depict water as being something that helps with liberation, recovery and new life. Praisesong for the Widow begins with Avey Johnson packing her bags and getting ready in a hurry to get off of a ship. At first it is hard to comprehend why Avey is in such a rush to get off the ship, but as the story continues it becomes clear that the appearance of her Great Aunt Cuney and the message she tries to give Avey has disturbed her enough to leave any idea of a trip behind.

The only way to successfully do this is to put Avey back at sea and closer to her Ancestors, so Lebert Joseph leads Avey to a ship that goes through crosscurrents in order for the water to cleanse
