[Stylist] A Reply to "Memoirs by blind Authors"

 Another one is "Savage Shadows," by Eileen Ross. It tells of how she was raped and was able to obtain a fingerprint of her rapist for his arrest.

Hi-

Try Mark Carlson’s two books: Confessions of a Guide Dog and Confessions of a Labradiva. Don’t be fooled by the titles, he is a prolific and engaging author. He writes more than about his dogs, including his advocacy, vision loss journey and much more. I am interviewing him during the guide dog book club event soon.

My memoir, Follow Your Dog is similar though more dog-centric. 

Patty Fletcher’s Campbell’s Rambles is good, too.

There’s Andrew Leland’s   Country of the Blind.  I interviewed him, too.

  

Best,

Annie

Hi everyone

  

There are two memoirs by blind authors I've read, whichI think are excellent.

  

"If you could see what I Hear," by actor and singer Tom Sullivn [as far as I know, he's still alive]

  

"Thunder Dog," by Michael Hingson. Tells of how his guide dog, Roselle, helped him survive during 9/11
