Such a good book! I love how Haben overcame a lot of obstacles. She didn’t give up. She persevered! She is fearless and brave! She is an inspiring person who doesn’t let her disability define what she can do.

Haben takes us through a mile (and more) in her shoes as she narrates experiences from her youth to the present. Most memoirs I’ve read only retell a person’s life story but Haben’s memoir educates the reader.
I learned about Eritrean culture, history, and liberation from Ethiopian occupation, ableism and how it affects deafblind people, and how technology has advanced to make life and communication more accessible.
There is a need for advocacy for accessibility rights. I encourage anyone who, like me, is unknowledgeable about disability rights and inclusion to start with this book.

hnagarne's review against another edition
4.5
for a book that includes Harvard law in the title, I’m surprised she didn’t talk about her law school years more. I wish she had, but what’s here is still incredibly insightful and interesting. The writing is pretty simple and straight forward, making it accessible to a very wide audience (I think a lot of people could enjoy this and read it without too much struggle).
