A review by julesdmuells
The Story of My Life by Helen Keller

informative inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

4.0

A woman who never heard or saw a word (after 1.5 years old) wrote more beautifully and expressed herself more fully by her sophomore year in college than many of us ever can. As a kid I thought she was famous because she was the only deaf AND blind person, brought to life by a teacher who cracked the code of communication, but this book confirms that there were several others, even whom she met or heard about, and she's notable because she was genuinely beloved as a person and accomplished as a writer. Her life was remarkable and she reminds you to be cheerful.
