Krieger (feminist studies, Stanford U.) recounts her experiences as a newly blind person learning to navigate with her guide dog. Aiming to contribute to the understanding of blindness, vision, and disability, and academic fields of disability studies, feminist ethnography, and the study of human-animal bonds, she relates her struggles to accept new interdependencies, come to terms with lack of sight, and perceive the world in new ways. She continues her memoir, Things No Longer There: A Memoir of Losing Sight and Finding Vision, in which she described her initial experiences with losing sight, and details her experiences traveling New Mexico, Mexico, and the streets of her neighborhood in this volume.
