""SIGHT proves that the most compelling stories often come from voices overlooked in mainstream fiction. Ellie's journey from military pioneer to caregiver to spiritual seeker resonates across generations." - Cedric D. Fisher, CEO/Publisher"Cedric D. Fisher & Company Publishers launches SIGHT by Alexandria Clarimond, a literary fiction novel following Elora ("Ellie") through seven decades of life as she confronts progressive blindness from macular degeneration. The novel's innovative "Seven Sight Loss Events" structure parallels physical vision decline with spiritual awakening, creating a powerful meditation on resilience and meaning.

SAN ANTONIO, TX - September 18th, 2025 - Cedric D. Fisher & Company Publishers, a San Antonio-based global leader in publishing, today announces the release of SIGHT, a groundbreaking literary fiction novel by Alexandria Clarimond that challenges conventional narratives about aging, disability, and feminine strength.

SIGHT follows Elora "Ellie," an 81-year-old woman reflecting on seven decades of extraordinary life while confronting progressive blindness from macular degeneration. The novel's innovative structure-Seven Sight Loss Events-creates a unique reading experience where physical vision decline parallels spiritual enlightenment.

"Literature desperately needs authentic stories about older women navigating life's profound transitions," says Cedric D. Fisher, CEO and Publisher. "Alexandria Clarimond has crafted a narrative that doesn't just represent this demographic-it celebrates their complexity, resilience, and continued growth."

The novel spans remarkable territory: Ellie's journey from poverty-stricken Texas farm girl to pioneering female military battalion commander in the 1970s-80s, her twelve-year caregiving journey through her husband's terminal illness, and ultimately her spiritual awakening as vision loss progresses. Set partially in a near-future dystopian America, SIGHT examines how physical limitations can paradoxically lead to deeper insight.

Early readers report powerful emotional responses, particularly among caregivers, veterans, and those dealing with vision loss. Book clubs are embracing the novel's ambiguous ending that invites interpretation about mortality, transcendence, and the nature of "sight" itself.

The release aligns with growing demand for literature featuring older protagonists. With over 54 million Americans aged 65+, and macular degeneration affecting 20 million people nationwide, SIGHT addresses experiences touching virtually every family while offering hope and meaning through adversity.

Alexandria Clarimond brings a unique voice to contemporary literature, focusing on characters whose stories deserve broader recognition. Her approach combines military fiction, spiritual journey, and dystopian elements in ways that transcend traditional genre boundaries.

SIGHT is available through major retailers and cedricdfisher in paperback and digital formats. An audiobook edition is planned for early 2026.
