In the fall of 1850, Tamson English was alone with three young children on the Western frontier for more than a year.

When she prays for a reprieve, an old friend appears at her door—but it’s hard to know whether his coming is a miracle or a curse.

Primatologist Dr. Elsa Abello is on the autism spectrum, and has successfully hidden this fact from the world for her entire career. She is working with an orangutan named Wookie, whom she hopes to prove is capable of speaking human language. Elsa’s 12 year old nephew, A.J., is also on the Autism spectrum. He is “locked in” and completely non-verbal. When A.J. and Wookie joyously discover that they can communicate with one other, Elsa's carefully constructed, science-based worldview is blown apart, and she is forced to drop the mask of seeming normalcy she has worn her whole life.

As I Was, Not As I Am is mainly about queer roommates, headaches, clubbing, upstairs neighbors, fire, and washing machines; but it's also about love: the kind that would make you do anything for each other.
