How Black Mothers Say I Love You

About this book

Claudette still can't forgive her mother for leaving. For six years of her childhood, Claudette and her sister Valerie were left with their grandmother while their mother, Daphne, moved from Jamaica to the United States to start a new chapter for their family. But in that time, Daphne remarried and had another daughter.Claudette, now in her late thirties, travels to visit her dying mother in Brooklyn, but that doesn't stop her anger and abandonment issues from bubbling up. It doesn't stop Daphne from voicing her opinions on how Claudette lives her life, either. With Daphne, Claudette, and Valerie all under one roof again, each family member is forced to confront their emotions while there's still time.Though rooted in buried strife and sadness, How Black Mothers Say I Love You is full of humour, love and tenderness as it explores the complicated perceptions of immigrant mothers.

Lights 
up 
on 
CLOE
and 
DAPHNE
. 
A 
dreamlike 
setting, 
this 
is 
as 
close 
to 
heaven 
as 
we 
can 
imagine. 
CLOE
is 
reaching 
out 
to 
DAPHNE
, 
arms 
stretched 
wide 
open, 
beckoning 
for 
DAPHNE
to 
come 
to 
her.
DAPHNE
Mommy 
is 
okay. 
I’m 
okay. 
I’m 
coming 
soon. 
But 
they 
need 
me. 
e 
girls 
need 
me. 
Just 
give 
me 
a 
little 
more 
time, 
Cloe. 
I 
soon 
come.
CLOE
nods, 
yet 
she 
lingers. 
She 
is 
unsure. 
A 
bright 
spotlight 
is 
seen; 
CLOE
walks 
towards 
the 
light 
but 
is 
hesitant 
and 
looks 
back 
at 
DAPHNE
.
Momma 
and 
Poppa 
are 
over 
there 
waiting 
for 
you, 
and 
Auntie 
Joon. 
ey’ll 
take 
care 
of 
you 
till 
I 
come. 
Walk 
towards 
the 
light. 
Walk 
into 
the 
light, 
darling. 
Walk. 
(whispers)
I 
love 
you . . .
CLOE
walks 
bravely 
into 
the 
light 
and 
disappears.
Lights 
fade.
