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

[Ann Chiappetta]

Hi there-
There is an anthology called Artificial Divide Edited by Randy Lacey and Robert Kingett.  It is written by blind authors and the stories are  written with blind characters. I have a story in it. It is on audible.com, Amazon, and overdrive.

Hi Annie,
Thanks so much for your reply. I like memoirs, but prefer reading them when they're actually by the author, as opposed to ghost-written. Do you have a particular favorite? I read one quite awhile back where the author had attended a School for the Blind in Canada, I believe in the 50s and 60s. The name escapes me now. I remember it being pretty good.
