Of her five living children one has inherited her eye disorder. At the time of her death, traces of a visual impairment have already begun to be apparent in his visual field. This book is about their many moments of communication while she is alive and after she dies. Her profound counsel that he should forget about the gene thing rings even clearer today. "As She Returns Now" is a story about revolutionary mothering too -- so much the story of the Caribbean Mother who overcomes. It traces subtle experiences of a family of eight nurtured by a single Mother. So, though the narrative runs between death and life, its twist courses alongside a vibrant Dominican environment, seasons of adventure, intriguing belief systems, explorations into creative ways of making ends meet, and celebrating joys of thriving within the extended family. "As She Returns Now" says what is being done now about that visual impairment and the son who carries it. "As She Returns Now" is inspiring, full of faith and goblets of philosophy and wisdom.
