This review is from: Dancing in the Dark: A Guide to Living With Blindness and Visual Impairment (Paperback)
I work with an agency serving visually impaired persons. For years, we have read excerpts aloud from this book to our independent living training classes for persons with vision loss. We have received nothing but rave reviews about this book and numerous complaints that it could not be obtained on cassette tape. It is a very worthwhile and realistic book about one woman's experience of vision loss, which resounds with many visually impaired persons.

While there are a few useful suggestions, most of the material in this book is dicouraging and false. Blind people can and do all things sight persons do, without many of the issues discussed in this book. People navigate restrooms without help, eat in restaurants without making a mess of themselves or the table without extra plates and napkins, and so much more. "Touch the Top of the World" by Erik Weihenmayer, is a much more accurate description of blindness.
