Success is bittersweet for Dalembert.(NBA)
Samuel Dalembert watches the news on television, and the images strike him. The places are familiar. He sees pictures in the newspaper, pictures of fires and crying children and men with guns. He recognizes them--maybe not explicitly, but there may be a street he knows, or a building, or a face that resembles one he knew in his youth. When he sees these things, he feels he must call his grandmother, Hyppomene Baptiste, the 72-year-old who raised him for the first 14 years of his life in a small house in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Just to make sure she is all right.
"Stop your worrying," she tells him. "I'm fine, I'm fine."
