[Stylist] What books have you read recently with blind characters?

[Sherry Gomes]

Well, I published a book with a female main character. It is fiction, a romance. Unfortunately, it isn't available on BARD or bookshare yet, though it is in process for BARD. But it is available in Kindle, Paperback and from audible. The book title is Haven, and my author name is my real name, Sherry Gomes. I wanted to write fiction with blind characters, in which you know the character is blind, because they use screen readers or read braille, use a cane and guide dog, but the book is about the things in a romance novel. Other than an issue with the female lead, it's not about being blind, if that makes sense. Blindness is presented as normal.

Hi There-
Answering this indirectly, folks could ask for  books about guide dog
handlers.   Also, there are books written by athletes who are blind, a chef,
biographies on musicians who are blind, etc. These are all nonfiction, though. As for fiction,  I am also curious to take a recommendation.  Great question.


Best,
Annie

Hi,
I hope everyone is well!
I was chatting with one of my friends earlier today. We realized that neither of us had read a book with a blind character in awhile. So, I was just curious what books you have been into lately which feature blind characters?
Thanks,
Vejas
