A tale of a woman’s final journey…

It was her time. As she inched closer to death, her mind began to wander, travelin’ to the past, her life flashing right before her eyes…

 …as a tale that is told tells the story of the dying and death of a Trinidadian woman named Louisa. In dying, the mind revisits the past in experiences that some call travelin’. Louisa relives experiences with her husband and thirteen children prior to immigration to the USA in a series of flashbacks. Her travelin’ is the major content of the book and each section ends with the reaction of each child to her death.

Deeply rooted in Caribbean tradition, …as a tale that is told will resonate with every courageous woman who determines to alter the lives of her children for good.
