The Story Of My Life - Keller, H.

An American classic rediscovered by each generation, The Story of
My Life is Helen Keller’s account of her triumph over deafness and
blindness. Popularized by the stage play and movie The Miracle
Worker, Keller’s story has become a symbol of hope for people all
over the world. This book–published when Keller was only
twenty-two–portrays the wild child who is locked in the dark and
silent prison of her own body. With an extraordinary immediacy,
Keller reveals her frustrations and rage, and takes the reader on
the unforgettable journey of her education and breakthroughs into
the world of communication. From the moment Keller recognizes the
word “water” when her teacher finger-spells the letters, we share
her triumph as “that living word awakened my soul, gave it light,
hope, joy, set it free!” An unparalleled chronicle of courage, The
Story of My Life remains startlingly fresh and vital more than a
century after its first publication, a timeless testament to an
indomitable will.
