[stylist] Culture Book Recommendations

[Jamie Allison]

Vejas,
You may not remember me but I think we met at writers' division last year
at nationals. I am glad you decided to attend LCB. Everyone that I know who
has attended has found the training and experience extremely valuable to
them and come out of it totally prepared for life. I also like to do some
reading as it relates to cultural context. I read a book some months ago
about an Alaskan native who was a teenager, had not made good choices and
was in trouble with the police and how he came to accept his heritage. For
the life of me I can't remember the title of the book! It was on BARD
though. I wouldn't recommend it for someone much younger than you because
of some of the language and situations this fellow gets into, but the
author's style of writing just pulls you right in and the resolution of
this young man's situation is so satisfying at the end. It may be that
someone else on-list has read the same one and can remember better than me
the title. Either way I'm pretty sure you'll get some good recommendations.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day, we raise
expectations for blind people because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and their dreams. You can live the life you want.
Blindness is not what holds you back.
