Printre r¿m¿¿i¿ele dezolante ale unei lumi bolnave, cu p¿mântul marcat de biciul necru¿¿tor al opresiunii ¿i r¿sunând de strig¿tele jalnice ale dezn¿dejdii, o for¿¿ puternic¿ ¿i indomit¿ se treze¿te, ghidat¿ de mâinile sigure ale lui Amiri ¿i Serafina. Povestea care se desf¿¿oar¿ în fäa noastr¿ este ¿esut¿ în complexitatea labirintic¿ a unui t¿râm distopic în care simpla supravie¿uire necesit¿ o plimbare complicat¿ pe funambulescul pr¿pastiei existen¿ei. Pe fundalul dezintegr¿rii, rezisten¿a lor apare ca un strig¿t r¿sun¿tor, o melodie irezistibil¿ care îi invit¿ ¿i pe al¿ii s¿ se al¿ture simfoniei rebeliunii. În fiecare linie a acestei melodii, inimile celor oprimäi ¿i frân¿i g¿sesc alinare, c¿ci ea ¿ese o caden¿¿ de unitate ¿i speran¿¿ care le p¿trunde întreaga fiin¿¿.În mijlocul furtunii care face ravagii în lumea lor, ei descoper¿ semin¿ele unit¿¿ii care au fost sem¿nate în solul sacru al min¿ilor lor, hr¿nite de torentele de lacrimi v¿rsate de cei oprimäi. Aceste semin¿e înfloresc într-o tapiserie de solidaritate care constituie fundamentul mi¿c¿rii lor. Uni¿i de firele neclintite ale empatiei, puterea lor combinat¿ se transform¿ într-o for¿¿ de ne¿ters care reînvie peisajul lor distopic cu o fervoare care refuz¿ s¿ fie negat¿. Dar Resurgence este mai mult decât o m¿rturie a spiritului uman indomptabil. Este o cronic¿ ce dezv¿luie renäterea sufletelor, un proces alchimic de transformare care se manifest¿ atunci când rezilien¿a danseaz¿ mân¿ în mân¿ cu compasiunea. Se îmbarc¿ într-o c¿l¿torie profund¿, îndr¿znind s¿ viseze la o nou¿ zare care str¿bate norii grei ai opresiunii, unde scânteile drept¿¿ii se transform¿ într-un foc de neoprit al schimb¿rii, aruncându-¿i str¿lucirea luminoas¿ pe calea revolu¿iei perpetue.

"On m¿a conduit aujourd¿hui à l¿administration départementale pour m¿examiner. Les avis sont partagés. Après avoir discuté, ils ont décidé que je ne suis pas fou. Mais s¿ils ont pris une telle décision, c¿est parce que j¿ai fait appel à toutes mes forces pour ne pas exprimer mon opinion. Je n¿ai rien dit parce que j¿ai peur de la maison d¿aliénés, j¿ai peur qüon ne m¿empêche là-bas de faire mes affaires de fou. Ils ont reconnu que j¿ai des lésions et d¿autres choses encore, mais quand même la possession de mes facultés intellectuelles. Ils m¿ont reconnu tel, mais je sais que je suis fou. Le médecin m¿a prescrit un traitement en m¿assurant que si je m¿y conforme exactement, ma maladie disparaîtra. Tout ce qui m¿inquiète disparaîtra. Oh ! que ne donnerais-je pas pour que cela disparaisse. On en souffre trop. Je vais raconter en détail comment et d¿où vient cette constatation, comment je suis devenu fou et comment j¿ai dévoilé ma folie..."

Fuller Sight is a metaphysical novel. Much of the book takes place outside of time as we know it. Danny Anderson is an 18-year-old young man who has decided that he needs to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect the girl he loves from throwing away her dreams of becoming a doctor. He kills himself by running his father's car into a bridge's concrete abutment.Upon his death he meets his mother, Nora Anderson, who died nine years earlier. She is his guide for the remainder of the book, helping him review and better understand himself and those around him.As he reviews his life, we gain a better understanding of his father, brother, and the Nigerian American family across the street who became a second family after his mother died in an automobile accident. We especially become acquainted with that family's daughter and Danny's best friend, Sadé Okoro. Their friendship becomes mildly romantic to the point of Sadé expressing her dream of going to college together which Danny believes is financially out of reach.In any case, her university plans with Danny are abruptly shunted when she witnesses a drunken Mitchell Anderson violently slap Danny on the 9th anniversary of Nora's death. Sadé takes Danny to be tended to by her mother, Ezzine Okoro. Danny experiences complete memory loss due to his father's blow.That night, Mitchell dies in his sleep due to an accidental overdose accompanied by liquor. The next day Mitchell is discovered dead in his bed and the death is deemed suspicious. Circumstantial evidence along with a violent scene the day before makes Danny a person of interest.Sadé is convinced of Danny's innocence but Danny has less trust in himself than she has in him. She determines to tell the police she was the one responsible, reasoning that if the detectives have more than one suspect then their theory of the case would be so weakened that they wouldn't be able to charge Danny.All throughout this story, Nora and Danny see all of this as well as the fuller view. They come to understand the karmic life lessons and how the greater community, both living and dead, are all on a path to grow, learn, and love each other. No one is excluded in the greater community, not even those who think and do their worst.This same process continues as Nora guides Danny through previous lives as the son of South Carolina plantation owners in 1775; as a blind beggar and former commander of the royal guard in the Gorkha Kingdom (near Tibet and India) in 1680; as a monk and former heir to an English nobleman in 1349; as a widow and spy in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1780; as an observer of Danny's grandmother when she was a suffragette in Washington DC in 1917; and finally back observing his father's actions in 1971.
