About this ebook
When Elizabeth Roberts twice lost her sight, she felt she had lost her self, as well. Months and years of darkness loomed ahead. How could she continue the life she once had? Could she be self-reliant and independent? Could she find happiness in accomplishment again? This collection of stories, poems, and essays reflects her journey to go beyond loss . . . to regain life. She recalls disturbing times of abuse as she seeks a newly-defined self. She finds wonderfully implausible moments of humor involving students, teachers, and colleagues. Furthermore, the abiding love for a small donkey, a gray cat, and a cherished friend brings positive, though poignant, remembrances. The glimpses of her life reveal frustration and fear, as well as joy, contentment, and peace, but most of all, the hope and love she needs to survive, to live, to flourish. Through the authors loss of sight and search for vision, we see resilience and achievement and . . . love.
