Listened as an audio book. I am loving memoirs these days and Haben's is super.

I really enjoyed learning about Haben and all that she has accomplished. She seems like a kind and sincere person. This book helped give me perspective and understanding on some of the obstacles of those facing deafblindness.

I was confused on the Eritrea parts. I definitely would have benefited from reading the book instead of listening to it during those parts. While I am interested in Eritrea and its history, I was a little bored during those parts in the book. (Probably due to the afore mentioned confusion.)

However, for the most part, I wasn't bored. I did feel like this was a pretty disjointed read. I wanted more details on almost everything.
