The Story of My Life by Helen Keller

4.0

---

I didn't really know anything about Helen Keller before reading this -- just that she was blind and deaf and famous for being educated despite those things. I'm far more impressed with her now -- she writes wonderfully, fully describing the width and breadth of her world. While one might assume she neatly slides over some of her more difficult struggles, based on how little page space she gives them, she talks in some detail about the ways she learned to communicate and the adaptive equipment designed for her. A quick, interesting read.
