When she was 19 months old, Helen Keller suffered a severe illness that left her blind and deaf. Not long after, she also became mute. Her tenacious struggle to overcome these handicaps-with the help of her inspired teacher, Anne Sullivan-is one of the great stories of human courage and dedication. Helen Keller's remarkable determination helped her overcome many of her constraints, until she became the famed author that we all know and love. This book is a significant milestone in Keller's life, presenting all the good and bad of her youth and childhood, and offering a detailed, unprecedented glimpse into a world without sound or light that is still surprisingly alive and thriving. If you want to be inspired, you will definitely enjoy every moment of The Story of My Life, its genuine qualities transcending everything we know about the world through our dominant senses, and presenting us with the beauty of enjoying a flower's motion and fragrance, instead of focusing solely on its outward beauty.

In her moving account of how she came to understand the world around her despite being blind and deaf since childhood, Helen Keller confirms that no physical obstacle can hinder the achievements of the human mind. Included with Keller's poignant autobiography are her letters, spanning fifteen years, which reveal her remarkable intellectual growth and empathic soul. Commentary by her teacher, Anne Sullivan, and the book's original editor is also featured, providing illuminating insight from two of Keller's closest companions. The Story of My Life not only transformed societal attitudes toward those living with a disability, it inspired everyone who felt daunted by restrictions to dream big. Keller was eloquent proof of that dream--and of her belief that everything in life, even darkness and silence, held liberating possibilities and wonder.
