- Synopsis
- As a small child in Poland, Jacob Twersky contracted an illness which left him almost totally blind. His parents hoped that a doctor in the United States could restore their son's sight, and this hope spurred them to emigrate in the mid-1920s. Twersky describes his childhood in Poland and Brooklyn, his years attending a resource room for blind children and a regular high school, and his eventual decision to enroll at a school for the blind. His struggle to accept his blindness is a theme throughout the book, threading its way through his college years, his struggle to find a teaching position, and his courtship and marriage.
