- Synopsis
- The author allows the reader to enter her personal "twilight zone," an inconsistent world of grayness brought on by the dual disability of hearing and sight loss. She uses specific events in her life to show the reader with these disabilities that they are not alone in fighting despair and confusion. Statements from others who have faced Usher syndrome and retinitis pigmentosa lend credence to the author's message: "giving up is not an answer." Recommended reading for family members and friends, professionals in the field, and persons with retinitis pigmentosa and Usher syndrome. -Linda Lindell, Information and Referral Coordinator Texas State Library Program for the Blind and Physically Handicapped
