Story4.5 out of 5 stars 13
At age 16, James Tate Hill was diagnosed with Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy, a condition that left him legally blind. After high school friends stopped calling and a disability counselor advised him to aim for C's in his classes, he used his remaining blurry peripheral vision to pretend he could still see. Feigning eye contact, memorizing common routes, filling shelves with paperbacks he read via tape cassettes, he organized his life around passing for sighted.

A perspective that must be seen

This memoir made me think, laugh, and cry. The author’s experiences and perspective helped me see what I hadn’t before, even with my “good eyes.” Please read it. You will see differently. And you’ll be better because of it. Curtis Armstrong does an impeccable narration. I highly recommend this audiobook.
