Too Busy to Die [Paperback]

Frances Lief Neer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 2003

Frances Lief Neer's work since 1981 tells of her life in the past twenty years. Since she went blind in 1981, she has written wonderful volumes that illustrate how individuals can thrive without the benefit of sight. She graces us with her wisdom; she teaches through her own example. This is the Frances Lief Neer we've all come to know and love. At last, Ms. Neer unveils the rest of her story. Fearless throughout her long and triumphantly full life, Ms. Neer transports readers from the Rockaway of her youth to her San Francisco of today. Through her still passionate point of view, her exceptional sense of humor and timing, the author reveals herself: highly motivated, never downtrodden, and as vibrant and vital today as ever.
