On a snowy winter night in New York, lecturing in a church off Times Square to a reduced crowd just after his first book was released, he spoke of the warmth of Barbados and that night fell asleep feeling himself in his mother's home there; a cable soon came saying his mother was dying, and within 24 hours he and his wife sailed for Barbados.
