About this listen
Blindness in the 1950s was a social stigma. Stephen's mother wanted a normal life for him, so he fought desperately to uphold the illusion of sight. For a child frantic to fit in, each day was an exhausting pretence. He managed to ride a bike, when even reading involved pressing his nose to the page and painfully forcing his eyes to concentrate. Head up, he strode through a carefully memorized labyrinth of streets, hoping to fool passers-by that he could actually see.

Turnd off shortly after starting this book
The author started to talk about his mom seeing ghosts everywhere in there home. I don't like to think about such things,and I don't think people living alone or blind will appreciate this either. Maybe he discontinues this subject latter but I wasn't giving him that chance.
